Background
COX-2 protein, also known as Cyclooxygenase-2 or PGHS-2, is a member of the cyclooxygenase superfamily. This recombinant protein plays a specific enzymatic role in the biological system, converting arachidonic acid (AA) into prostaglandin G2 and other peroxide substances, participating in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Under normal physiological conditions, most tissue cells do not express COX-2 protein. However, in pathological states such as inflammation and tumorigenesis, COX-2 protein expression is upregulated in response to proinflammatory mediators, including inflammatory stimuli, damage, mitogens, and carcinogens. This process involves the release of arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids through the phospholipase A2 pathway, followed by the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) catalyzed by COX-2, participating in various physiological and pathological processes in the body. Moreover, the enzymatic activity of COX-2 protein is not limited to arachidonic acid. It can also act on dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), generating PGH1 and PGH3 as precursors of different series of prostaglandins.

Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon. Anti-COX2 antibody was used at 1/1000 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Immunocytochemistry
ICC shows positive staining in U87-MG cells. Anti-COX2 antibody was used at 1/50 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. The cells were fixed with 100% ice-cold methanol and permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Counterstain with tubulin (Red).
