Anti-Sodium Channel Antibody, Voltage Gated, Pan (SP19 Segment)

Control
CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 40 μg of control antigen. The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

All procedures that are going to receive a full-length protein should be performed at 4°C, and the following protease inhibitor mixture should be used: pepstatin A (1 μg/mL), leupeptin (1 μg/mL), aprotinin (1 μg/mL), Pefabloc SC (0.2 mM), benzamidine (0.1 mg/mL), and calpain inhibitors I and II (8 μg/mL each).

Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on newborn rat brain membranes.

Immunohistochemistry on mouse brain sections (frozen) and mouse spinal cord sections (paraffin).

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Purified peptide corresponding to amino acids 1501-1518 in the alpha subunit (amino acids 1501-1518) of rat type I voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) (Accession P04774).

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
