Aquaporin4 is a water-specific channel in the blood brain barrier
Mouse monoclonal purified IgG
Cat. No.: 429 011
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $415.00
Cat. No. 429 011 100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

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.

Immunohistochemistry on fresh frozen (IHC-Fr) cryo-tissue-sections. In contrast to standard PFA perfusion fixed tissues, fresh frozen cryo-tissue-sections can be variably postfixed with alcohols, acetone or PFA. Alcohol or acetone fixation is e.g. of advantage for antigens masked by PFA crosslinking. For recommended postfixation, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background

Aquaporin4, or AQP4, also known as Mercurial-insensitive water channel (MIWC), is a member of the aquaporin water channel family. This osmoreceptor regulates body water balance and mediates water flow within the central nervous system.
