What is 7-ketocholesterol?
Cholesterol oxidation products, especially 7-Ketocholesterol (7KC), have been the focus of much attention because they are present in human atherosclerotic plaque and display a wide range of atherogenic properties in vitro and to some extant in vivo. This antibody is specific for 7KC. This antibody is useful to detect 7KC in tissue samples. A frozen tissue sample is recommended for immunohistochemistry.

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
Procedure
1)

Samples were fixed in 10% formalin, immersed in 30% sucrose in PBS, embedded at OCT (Sakura, Tokyo, Japan), and stored at 80 degree C.
2)

Prepare 3-7um thick sections from OCT compound embedded fresh frozen samples.
3)

Wash OCT compound with PBS (pH7.6). Please take care not to wash
with 100% acetone.
4)

Frozen sections were quenched for several minutes with 1% EDTA,
3% hydrogen peroxide /PBS.
5)

Sections are rinsed in PBS, and pretreated for 30 min with 3%
non-immune animal serum in PBS.
6)

Block endogenous avidin biotin activity.
7)

Dilute anti 7-KC antibody with 1% BSA, 0.1% NaN3 , 15mM EDTA
in PBS (pH7.6).
8)

Sections were incubated overnight at 4 degree C with primary
antibody at a concentration of 10 ug/mL.
9)

Place the sections at room temperature, and wash with PBS
for 5 minutes x 3 times.
10)

Antibody binding was visualized by the avidin-biotin-immuno-peroxidase
complex method using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA)
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
11)

Use 3,3-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) as the chromogen.
12)

Counterstain by Hematoxylin or Eosin.

 

Technical Note
1)

Frozen materials only.
2)

Sections from which the primary antibodies were omitted served
as negative reaction controls.
