Background Information
IBA1 is a 143 amino acid cytoplasmic, inflammation response scaffold protein. It is constitutively expressed in monocytes and macrophages and is known to be involved in macrophage activation. It is a marker of activated macrophage. Expression of IBA1 is up-regulated in activated microglia following facial nerve axotomy, ischemia, and several brain diseases, thereby implicating it in the activated phenotypes of microglia.

Reviews
What customers say
The single review for this IBA1 antibody (used as a microglial-specific marker) is a 5-star rating. The user applied it for immunofluorescence on 40-μm-thick mouse brain cortex sections, with 3% normal goat serum blocking and overnight incubation at a 1:500 dilution. The antibody performed consistently well on the fixed tissue, producing clear IBA1 signal when detected with an Alexa 633-labeled anti-rabbit fluorescent secondary antibody. Overall, the reviewer found the product reliable and effective for visualizing microglia in fixed brain tissue.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Kateryna (Verified Customer) (01-23-2025) | IBA1 was used as a microglial-specific marker to visualize microglia in mouse brain tissue, specifically the cortex. The antibody worked consistently well on the fixed tissue: 40-μm thick sections, 3% normal goat serum blocking, and overnight incubation with the antibody (IBA1). In the image, red represents IBA1 visualized by an Alexa 633-labeled anti-rabbit fluorescent secondary antibody.
