Figure 1. GFAP staining using HB9240 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed secondary antibody.

Rat brain stained for GFAP (HB8267) and Neurofilament L (HB7266) using HB9240 goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed and goat anti-rabbit DyLight 488 conjugated secondary antibodies. Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 30% sucrose (in PBS) until sunk (approx. 48hrs). A freezing microtome was used to cut 40µm horizontal slices before sections were incubated in 1% NaBH4 for 30 minutes. Sections were blocked in 0.05M glycine, 2% BSA and 3% goat serum before incubation overnight in HB8267 (1:1000, 1µg/ml) and HB7266 (1:4000 dilution, 0.25µg/ml). This was followed by a two hour incubation with secondary antibodies at a 1:300 dilution (HB9240 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed and goat anti-rabbit DyLight 650). DAPI (HB0747) was used at 1µg/ml to visualise cell nuclei. For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. The image was captured using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope in Lightning mode with a 63x objective using 405nm (16.7% power, PMT: 670V gain), 496nm (2.0% power, Hyd: 40.6% gain) and 561nm (2.0% power, 10% gain) lasers.Following capture the stack was flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).

Figure 2. MBP staining in rat cerebellum using HB9240 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed secondary antibody.

Rat cerebellum stained for myelin basic protein (MBP, HB8014) and GFAP (HB6406) using HB9240 goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed and donkey anti-chicken Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated secondary antibodies. Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 30% sucrose (in PBS) until sunk (approx. 48hrs). A freezing microtome was used to cut 40µm horizontal slices before sections were incubated in 1% NaBH4 for 30 minutes. Sections were blocked in 0.05M glycine, 2% BSA and 3% goat serum before incubation overnight in HB8014 (1:1000, 1µg/ml) and HB6406 (1:4000 dilution). This was followed by a two hour incubation with secondary antibodies at a 1:300 dilution (HB9240 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 549) preadsorbed and donkey anti-chicken Alex Fluor 488). DAPI (HB0747) was used at 1µg/ml to visualise cell nuclei. The section was mounted using HB0820 antifade mounting media. For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. The image was captured using a Leica DMI6000B fluorescence microscope with a 10x objective using A4 (10ms @ 4x gain), GFP (90ms @ 4.1x gain) and Y3 filters (100ms @ 4.9x gain). Following capture, the image was deconvolved in Huygens professional before the stack was flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).

Figure 4. Janelia Fluor® 549 conjugated secondary antibodies show superior antifade performance compared to those conjugated with DyLight 550

Janelia Fluor® 549 conjugated secondary antibodies show greater resistance to photobleaching than DyLight 550 conjugated secondaries in a HEK293T based cell assay. Method: HEK293T cells were cultured on 10mm coverslips and stained with HB6491 (1:8,000 dilution, 125ng/ml) and either a goat anti-mouse DyLight 550 or goat anti-mouse Janelia Fluor® 549 conjugated secondary antibody. For more information please see our ICC protocol. Imaging was conducted with a Leica SPE confocal laser scanning microscope where cells were repeatedly imaged with the 488nm laser at 100% power over 30 seconds of continuous exposure to induce photobleaching. Average intensity values were calculated from images then data was normalised to the first exposure frame to generate normalised intensity. Statistics: decay curve: F-test, F5,350=1685, p<0.0001, final intensity: two tailed t-test, t16=19.15, p<0.0001.
