In indirect IF detection, a fluorochrome-labeled secondary antibody is required to detect the primary antibody-antigen complex. If you are using indirect detection methods, it is important to ensure the primary antibodies have different host species during primary antibody selection. Other considerations for secondary antibody selection include primary antibody subclass (eg, IgG, IgM, IgA) and targeting the Heavy Chain (Hc) only, Light Chain (Lc) only, or both Heavy and Light Chain (H+L).</p> <p>Indirect detection methods can improve detection of low abundance targets due to multiple secondary antibodies binding to one primary antibody. <a href="#background">Learn more about the differences between direct and indirect detection.</a></p> <h3>ICC Secondary Antibodies by Reactivity</h3> <figure class="responsive-figure-table"><table class="overflow-auto table table-bordered"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Goat">Anti-Goat</a></td> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Mouse">Anti-Mouse</a></td> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Rat">Anti-Rat</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Human">Anti-Human</a></td> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Rabbit">Anti-Rabbit</a></td> <td><a href="/search?keywords=antibodies&category_attr=Secondary%20Antibodies&species=Sheep">Anti-Sheep</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></figure> <h3>Detection Reagents</h3> <p>In addition to antibody staining, <a href="/reagents/fluorescent-dyes-probes">fluorescent dyes and probes</a> can be used to further investigate cellular structures and visualize cellular morphology.</p> <figure class="responsive-figure-table"><table class="overflow-auto table table-bordered"> <thead> <tr> <th class="bt-blue-table-header">Cellular Structure</th> <th class="bt-blue-table-header">Reagents</th> <th class="bt-blue-table-header">Use</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Nucleus</td> <td><a href="/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/dapi-solution_nbp2-31156">DAPI</a>, <a href="/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/draq5-tm-_nbp2-81125">DRAQ5<sup>TM</sup></a></td> <td>Live or fixed cells; membrane permeable</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nucleus</td> <td><a href="/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/draq7-tm-_nbp2-81126">DRAQ7<sup>TM</sup></a></td> <td>Live or fixed cells; will not stain intact live cells, can be used for viability</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cytoplasm</td> <td><a href="/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/draq9-tm-_nbp2-81128">DRAQ9<sup>TM</sup></a></td> <td>Live or fixed cells; membrane permeable</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mitochondria</td> <td><a href="https://www.bio-techne.com/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/mitobrilliant-646_7700">MitoBrilliant<sup>TM</sup> 646</a></td> <td>Live or fixed cells</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mitochondria</td> <td><a href="https://www.bio-techne.com/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/mitobrilliant-live-646_7417">MitoBrilliant<sup>TM</sup> Live 646</a>, <a href="https://www.bio-techne.com/p/fluorescent-probes-dyes/mitobrilliant-live-549_7693">MitoBrilliant<sup>TM</sup> Live 549</a></td> <td>Live cells; activity dependent on membrane potential (Δψm)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></figure> <p> </p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--individual-button mb-4 paragraph--view-mode--default w-100"> <div class="row"> <div class="col"> <a href="/reagents/fluorescent-dyes-probes" class="btn btn-primary float-left" type="link" > Explore All Fluorescent Dyes and Probes </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="thin-banner banner_wrapper"> <div class="banner-dark"> <div> <div><h2>Improve the brightness and performance of your ICC</h2></div> <a href="/search?keywords=TSA%20Vivid%E2%84%A2" > <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"> TSA Vivid Fluorophore Kits </button> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--freeform mb-4 paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p><a name="controls"></a></p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--section paragraph--view-mode--default mb-4"> <div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--header"> <div> <div><h2>ICC Controls</h2></div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--freeform mb-4 paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div><p>Proper experimental controls are critical to ensuring accurate interpretation of your ICC data.

Visualization is via fluorescence microscopy and enables assessment of whether and where a cell expresses a particular protein. The ICC technique uses cells that are isolated from tissue, such as cells in culture, whereas <a href="/methods/immunohistochemistry">immunohistochemistry (IHC)</a> uses sections of tissue.

Indirect detection, however, uses an unlabeled primary antibody targeting the molecule of interest and a labeled secondary antibody that is directed against the constant region of the primary antibody.</p> <p><strong>Which Detection Method is Better – Direct or Indirect?</strong></p> <p>The optimal detection method may vary from experiment to experiment.
