Other Notes

This antibody has also been reported to work in ELISA. For blocking immunoblot membranes, use ONLY 4% goat serum or evaporated goat′s milk. For frozen sections a 1:5000 dilution of the reconstituted serum demonstrates specific staining of rat brain sections including the medial septum, nucleus accumbens, dentate gyrus, globus pallidus, medial forebrain bundle, cortex regions 1-3, substantia nigra reticulata, and the ventral tegmental area. Strong nuclear staining of oligodendrocytes was also observed. Variables associated with assay conditions will dictate the proper working dilution.
