Key Applications Free-floating Sections
Frozen Sections
Immunoblotting (Western Blotting)
Paraffin Sections
Application NotesFrozen Sections (1:300-1:500)
Immunoblotting (1:500-1:1000)
Free Floating Sections (see application references)
Paraffin Sections (see application references; heat pre-treatment required)
Application CommentsAntibody specificity was examined in the rat amygdala, cortex, and hippocampus. Detection of primary antibody with ABC according to manufacturers directions. Low levels of glutaraldehyde (0.1%-0.3%) may be used in conjunction with paraformaldehyde for tissue perfusion fixation. Addition of intensifying reagents such as nickel ammonium sulfate to the chromogen solutions allows further dilution of the primary antibody to approximately 1:1000 or greater. For staining paraffin sections, heating in 10 mM citrate buffer is required (see application references). Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

DescriptionImmunoaffinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody. Recognizes the ~53 kDa serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor.
BackgroundAt least 14 mammalian serotonin receptor subtypes have been identified and classified into several families on the basis of common structural, pharmacological, and functional criteria. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) mediates its effects in a number of physiological processes including anxiety, depression, sexual activity, and sleep through interactions with different receptor subtypes. These receptors differ in their tissue and cellular localization, affinity for serotonin, and second messenger pathways. The majority of these receptors stimulate a GTP-binding protein upon agonist stimulation and couple to adenylate cyclase or phospholipase C. In contrast, the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor acts as a cation-selective channel. The serotonin receptors have generated considerable pharmacological interest as targets for the identification of selective drugs that interact with a specific receptor subtype.
