GABA-A receptors are involved in inhibitory neurotransmission
Rabbit monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 224 208AT488
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 224 208AT488 50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized, fluorescence-labeled with ATTO® 488.

For many of the fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to ATTO® dyes from ATTO-TEC the established fluorescence detection systems can be used.

ATTO® 488: λex 500 nm / λem 520 nm
ATTO® 550: λex 554 nm / λem 576 nm
ATTO® 565: λex 564 nm / λem 590 nm
ATTO® 594: λex 603 nm / λem 626 nm
ATTO® 647N: λex 646 nm / λem 664 nm
 

ATTO®488, ATTO®565, ATTO®647N and ATTO®594 dyes are suitable for Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy which allows higher resolution imaging compared to confocal laser scanning microscopy.
ATTO®488, ATTO®565 and ATTO®594 are also recommended for PALM and dSTORM high resolution microscopy.

This product or portions thereof is manufactured under license from ATTO-TEC GmbH.

Purchase of reagents related to the AbberiorStar technology from Synaptic Systems GmbH provides a license for non-profit and in-house research use only. Any application of above mentioned technology for commercial purpose requires a separate license from ATTO-TEC GmbH.

Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Either add 1:1 (v/v) glycerol, then aliquot and store at -20°C until use, or store aliquots at -80°C without additives.
Reconstitute immediately upon receipt! Avoid bright light when working with the antibody to minimize photo bleeching of the fluorescent dye.
Applications
 
WB: N/A
IP: N/A
ICC: 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC: not tested yet
IHC-P: not tested yet

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background

Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA-A) receptors mediate the majority of inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. These receptor proteins are ligand gated chloride ion channels and consist of a pentameric combination of different subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon and rho). The resulting heterogenous population of GABA-A receptor subtypes are expressed throughout the brain with specific cellular and subcellular expression patterns.
