Analysis Note

ControlPositive Control: Kidney, muscle, tendon spleen tissue
Negative Control: Neurons/glia

Application

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500, acetone fixed, frozen tissue recommended. Weak reactivity on on formalin fixed, paraffin sections (1:100) after treatment with 1% trypsin (20 minutes, room temperature). Or alternatively, 4% PFA fixed, HEIR treated tissue has worked in monkey (Qin, 2003) at 1:200 dilution.

Western blot: 1:500, 170 kDa.

ELISA at 1:200

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
