| SpecificityUsing a conjugate 5 hydroxytryptamine-Glutaraldehyde-Protein, antibody specificity was performed with an ELISA test by competition experiments with the following compounds | |
| Compounds Cross-reactivity ratio(a)5 Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL 15 Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL (b) 1/105 Methoxytryptamine-G-PL 1/25Tryptamine-G-PL 1/515 Hydroxytryptophan-G-PL 1/1755 Hydroxytryptamine 1/1,150Tryptophan-G-PL 1/3,4005 Methoxytryptophan-G-PL 1/19,800 |
| (a) | 5 Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL concentration/unconjugated or conjugated indolealkylamine concentration at half displacement. |
| (b) : Non-reduced conjugate |
| G = Glutaraldehyde, PL = poly-Lysine |
| Recommended dilutionThe antiserum was tested using the free floating PAP technique on rat raphe nuclei. The anti-conjugated 5-hydroxytryptamine antibodies stains well between a 1/2,000-1/5,000. |
| Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |
