Guinea pig polyclonal antibody to mouse agouti related protein, AGRP (82-131): Whole serum

ZZZZ_Status (Active, Disc) : Active

AA_Supplier Name : Biosensis

Alternative_Name (Other Names) :

Agrp; Agrt; Art; Agouti-related protein;

Antibody_Isotype
(Antibody only) : Mixed

Application_Details :

IHC, frozen, PFA fixed material. Not yet tested on paraffin embedded tissue sections. A concentration of 1:1000 to 1:2000 is recommended for IHC with overnight incubations. Permeabilization suggested is 0.1% triton X-100 in blocking buffer. IHC performed in sheep brain (hypothalamus) demonstrates intense staining of cells and terminals. No staining is evident when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5 mg/mL of AGRP. In rodents such as rat cell terminal staining is most typically observed without cell body staining. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
