Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: Carbonic Anhydrase IX/CA9 Antibody [NB100-417] - IHC analysis of a formain fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue section of human breast cancer using CAIX antibody at 1:1000 dilution. The primary antibody bound to CAIX antigens in the tissue section was detected using a HRP labeled secondary antibody and DAB reagent. Nuclei of the cells were counterstained with hematoxylin. This CAIX antibody generated an expected cytoplasmic staining of CAIX protein with an intense signal around the cellular membranes in tumor cores. The latter are more likely to be hypoxic in growing tumors which signifies that the observed CAIX staining is specific.

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a member of the Carbonic anhydrase family which are enzymes that assists rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons, and bicarbonate ions. They are abundant in all mammalian tissues and because of their functionality, they have become an important diagnostic marker for various cancers, most notably renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA IX) is one of the most hypoxically inducible genes because of its stability and the location of the expressed protein within the membrane. Carbonic anhydrases have a widespread role in regulating pH in normal tissues, by regulating hydrogen ion (H+) flux. The pH is important in cell death under hypoxia, thus a blockade of CA IX (CA9) results in increased cell death under hypoxia. Therefore, CA IX has become a reliable histochemical marker of hypoxia.
