IHC staining of purified anti-P2RY12 antibody (clone S16007D) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Retrieve‐All Antigen Unmasking System 3 (Cat. No. 927801), the tissue was incubated with the primary antibody at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 µg/ml of Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. The image was captured with a 10X objective. Scale bar: 100 µm

Single cell suspension of mouse brain tissue was stained with purified anti-P2RY12 antibody (clone S16007D, blue histogram) or rat IgG isotype control (red histogram), followed by anti-rat antibody conjugated to APC for detection.
IHC staining of purified anti-P2RY12 antibody (clone S16007D) on 4%-formaldehyde fixed mouse brain tissue. Following thick (100µm) vibratome sectioning, the slices were blocked for 1h at RT with 10%NGS and 1%BSA in PBST (pH=7.4 PBS + 0.1% Tween20), incubated with the primary antibody at 5 µg/ml overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with 2.5 µg/ml of Alexa Fluor® 647 conjugated Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 2h at RT. CX3CR1-GFP signal enabled validation of the microglial-specific anti-P2RY12 staining (pseudocolored red).

Purinergic Receptor P2Y (P2RY12) is a receptor for ADP and ATP coupled to G-proteins that inhibit the adenylyl cyclase second messenger system. P2RY12 is not activated by UDP and UTP. Required for normal platelet aggregation and blood coagulation. P2RY12 is a highly selective marker for microglia that specifically distinguishes these cells from other myeloid cells.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10 µg/ml is suggested. For flow cytometric staining. a concentration range of 0.5 - 5.0 µg/ml is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
