Anti-Glutamate (No Glutaraldehyde) Antibody

32160702

NA.41

Glutamate (L-Glutamate). The antibody has been calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity and proper affinity. No measurable cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against glutamate in peptides or proteins. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against L-alanine, gamma-aminobutyrate, 1-amino-4-guanidobutane (AGB), D/L-arganine, D/L-aspartate, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, taurine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine. Modest cross-reactivity (1:20) against D-glutamate. Significant cross-reactivity (1:8) against free NAAG in competition assays (NAAG is not retained in glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue).

Glutamate-glutaraldehyde

This Anti-Glutamate (No Glutaraldehyde) Antibody is validated for use in IH for the detection of Glutamate (No Glutaraldehyde).
Research Category
Neuroscience
Immunohistochemistry using silver-intensified immunogold or fluorescence (see recommended protocol). Samples should be fixed with 0.1% - 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 AB5018 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 AB5018 for your days use by diluting 100X with 1% GSPBT.
