IHC staining of anti-MECP2 antibody (clone N227/21) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 10 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend's Ultra Streptavidin (USA) HRP Detection Kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

ICC staining of anti-MECP2 antibody (clone N227/21) on HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with methanol, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 2% Normal Goat Serum and 0.02% BSA for 30 minutes. The cells were then incubated with 10 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 µg/mL of Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405326) for one hour at room temperature. The cells were counterstained with DAPI. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Methyl CpG binding protein (MECP2), also known as autism susceptibility to X-linked 2 (AUTSX3), is a nuclear protein crucial for normal neuronal function that binds to methylated DNA, forming complexes with histone deacteylases and turning off gene expression. MECP2 expression is an X-linked trait. Loss of MECP2 expression causes Rett Syndrome (also known as RTS, RTT, or RS) a neurological disorder which causes decelerated growth of hands, feet, and the head.
This monoclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 157-169 (FTVTG[dimethyl-R]GSPSRRE) of human MECP2.
Formulation
Phosphate-buffered solution.
Preparation
The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration
1 mg/mL
Storage & Handling
This antibody should be handled aseptically as it is free of preservatives such as Sodium Azide. Store this antibody undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. Please note the storage condition for this antibody has been changed from -20°C to between 2°C and 8°C. You can also check the vial label or CoA to find the proper storage conditions.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 μg/mL is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
