GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) Antibody (20094)

The ImmunoStar gamma amino butyric acid antiserum was quality control tested using standard immunohistochemical methods. The antiserum demonstrates strongly positive labeling of rat thalamus and cerebellum using indirect immunofluorescent and biotin/avidin-HRP techniques. Recommended primary dilutions are 1/15,000- 1/20,000 in PBS /0.3% Triton X-100 – biotin/avidin-HRP technique. The specificity of the antiserum for GABA was evaluated using a competitive inhibition ELISA. While conjugates of GABA completely eliminate labeling, a 1000 fold excess of the following conjugates could not inhibit the antiserums ability to bind GABA conjugate: glutamate, aspartate, beta alanine, tyrosine, taurine, glycine and alanine.
