The best way is to ensure that each of the primary antibodies is generated from a different species, in order that the fluorescent -
labeled secondary antibodies used will then be detected through separate channels.
Control and gesicle - treated hiPS cells were assessed for AcGFP1 expression (green), labeled with an antibody specific to pluripotency marker Oct ‑ 4, visualized with a fluorescent -
labeled secondary antibody (red), and nuclear - labeled with DAPI (blue).
The antibodies are detected through a fluorescently
labeled secondary antibody and a dual color system is used in order to verify the presence of the spotted proteins.
Antibody binding was visualized by chemiluminescence detection in a CCD - camera system using a peroxidase (HRP)
labeled secondary antibody.
HRP RANbody staining results in a ≥ 10-fold increase in signal over staining with a primary /
labeled secondary antibody and a ≥ 100-fold increase in signal over intrinsic fluorescence.
Spaghetti Monster tagged RANbodies can be detected either with a labeled anti- HA or - MYC antibody or with an anti-HA or - MYC primary and
a labeled secondary antibody.
More sensitive than detecting antigen with a primary /
labeled secondary antibody.
HRP - RANbodies are, however, compatible with most multi-labeling immunohistochemical protocols where either a directly labeled primary or a primary /
labeled secondary antibody are used to detect additional antigens.
While Spaghetti Monster RANbody detection with a directly labeled anti-HA or - MYC antibody is less sensitive than HRP RANbody detection, it is approximately as sensitive as detecting the same antigen with a standard primary /
labeled secondary antibody.
Enzyme - Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) ELISA is an immunodetection assay that uses
labeled secondary antibodies to detect specific antigens.
HuProt Cross-Section: microarray probed with a serum Ig sample and fluorescently -
labeled secondary antibodies to the Ig and common epitopes of the arrayed proteins.
