Penk Goat Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Peptide ELISA: 1/32000 (Detection Limit).  Western Blot: Preliminary experiments gave an approx 40kDa band in Rat Brain lysates after 0.2 µg/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 30.8kDa according to Mouse NP_001002927.1 and 30.9kDa according to Rat NP_058835.1. The 40kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide.  Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 0.02-0.05 μg/ml.  Frozen section of Rat Brain (Striatum) shows staining of dense enkephalinergic axon plexus. Frozen section of the Mouse Brain (Stria terminalis) shows staining of a dense enkephalinergic fibre network in the bed nucleus.
