Description
The Iba1 antibody (ab5076) is commonly used as a marker of microglia activation in staining and immunohistochemistry, given that ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) is a microglia/macrophage-specific calcium-binding protein with actin-bundling activity that participates in membrane ruffling and phagocytosis in activated microglia.
