Technical Data
C0115-02C1
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP)
Description:
Cellular Localization: Secreted

Positive Control: Rat spinal cord.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (Fr). Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:2000-1:4000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

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 Store 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.

Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide (Rat) conjugated to BSA by a Glutaraldehyde linker.
Purity:
Purified
Form
Supplied as a liquid containing 0.1% sodium azide
Specificity:
On rat spinal cord immunostaining may be abolished by preincubation with 10nmol CGRP (rat alpha) per mL diluted antiserum. Neither substance P nor galanin have any effect on immunostaining when used at 10nmol/mL diluted antiserum. It is believed that this antibody crossreacts with all known forms of rat and human CGRP. Species Crossreactivity: Crossreacts with Human and Rat.
Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
