Gene Information

rat ... Gabra1(29705)

Specificity

GABA (gamma-aminobutyrate). The antibody has been calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity and proper affinity. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against L-alanine, 1-amino-4-guanidobutane (AGB), D/L-arganine, D/L-aspartate, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamate, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine.

Immunogen

GABA-glutaraldehyde

Application

Immunohistochemistry using silver-intensified immunogold or fluorescence (see recommended protocol). Samples should be fixed with 0.05% - 2.5% glutaraldehyde for optimum detection.

*This antibody has also been used and found to work with a zero-low glutaraldehyde / high paraformaldehyde fixation (4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer / 3% sucrose fixative ). The minimum glutaraldehyde concentration for AB5016 is 0.00%. See protocol that follows. Performance is good with frozen sections, Vibratome sections and tissue culture formats, when penetrating reagents such as 0.3% Triton X-100 are used.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

DILUTION: Prepare enough of the AB5016 for your days use by diluting 100X with 1% GSPBT.
