Tissue Preparation:
Formalin fixation and embedding in paraffin wax.
Tissue Sectioning:
Make 4-um sections and place on pre-cleaned and charged microscope slides. Heat in a tissue-dryingoven for 45 minutes at 60°C.
Deparaffinization:
Wash dry slides in 3 changes of xylene - 5 minutes each @ RT
Rehydration:
Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT
Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT
Wash slides in 1 change of 80% alcohol - 3 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in gentle running distilled water - 5 minutes @ RT
Antigen retrieval:
Steam slides in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0 at 99-100°C - 20 minutes
Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature in buffer - 20 minutes
Rinse in 1X TBS with Tween (TBST) -1 minute @ RT
Immunostaining:
(Do not allow tissues to dry at any time during the staining procedure)
Apply a universal protein block - 20 minutes @ RT
Drain protein block from slides, apply diluted primary antibody - 45 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1 X TBST - 1 minute @ RT
Apply a biotinylated secondary antibody appropriate for the primary antibody - 30 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT
Apply alkaline phosphatase streptavidin - 30 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT

Wash slides in distilled water - 1 minute @ RT
Dehydrate:
(This method should only be used if the chromogen substrate is alcohol insoluble (e.g. Vector Red, DAB)
Wash slides in 2 changes of 80% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 3 changes of xylene - 1 minute each @ RT

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of an antimicrobial peptide family, characterized by a highly conserved N-terminal signal peptide containing a cathelin domain and a structurally variable cationic antimicrobial peptide, which is produced by extracellular proteolysis from the C-terminus. In addition to its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities, the encoded protein functions in cell chemotaxis, immune mediator induction, and inflammatory response regulation.
