Catalogue NumberPC223L
Brand Family Calbiochem®
Application Data
Detection of rat neuropeptide Y by immunohistochemistry. Sample: Rat paraventricular nucleus, cortex, and caudate putamen. Primary antibody: Anti-Neuropeptide Y Rabbit pAb (Cat. No. PC223L) (1:10,000). Detection: fluorescence.

FormLyophilized
FormulationUndiluted serum.
Positive controlParaventricular nucleus, cortex, or caudate putamen

Applications
Key Applications Frozen Sections
Application NotesFrozen Sections (1:1000-1:2000 for free-floating, PAP detection)
Application CommentsAntibody specificity was examined in the rat cortex, caudate putamen, and paraventricular nucleus. Staining is completely eliminated by pretreatment of antibody with neuropeptide Y (10-6M). Preabsorption with avian pancreatic polypeptide, β-endorphin, cholecystokinin, peptide YY, somatostatin, or vasoactive intestinal peptide resulted in no loss of immunostaining. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Special InstructionsReconstitute the lyophilized antibody with 100 µl sterile distilled H₂O. Be careful to reconstitute the entire contents of the vial; during shipment and handling portions of the lyophilized pellet may have become dislodged and may not be in the bottom of the vial. Dilute with sterile PBS or Tris buffer at dilutions no higher than 1:10. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions.

Application Data
Detection of rat neuropeptide Y by immunohistochemistry. Sample: Rat paraventricular nucleus, cortex, and caudate putamen. Primary antibody: Anti-Neuropeptide Y Rabbit pAb (Cat. No. PC223L) (1:10,000). Detection: fluorescence.
DescriptionRabbit polyclonal antibody supplied as lyophilized undiluted serum. Recognizes neuropeptide Y.
BackgroundNeurotransmitters can be defined as chemical substances that are released by the presynaptic neuron before being bound by receptors on the postsynaptic cell surface. It has been well established that the nervous system utilizes neurotransmitters for cell signaling. Neurotransmitters can be divided into two groups; low molecular weight transmitter molecules such as biogenic amines, purines, or amino acids, and bioactive peptides, of which more than 50 members have been identified in the mammalian central nervous system. Many low molecular weight neurotransmitters are produced within the axon terminal from common cellular metabolites and packaged into synaptic vesicles. In contrast, neuropeptides are synthesized in the cell body and packaged into large dense core vesicles for delivery to the presynaptic membrane. The transport and delivery of vesicles containing neurotransmitter is a highly regulated and complex process. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide family of neuroendocrine hormones. NPY is abundantly expressed in neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems, including the hypothalamus and pituitary. NPY is a potent stimulator of food intake, and may also influence other growth hormones. A family of neuropeptide Y receptors (Y1-Y5) have been identified which recognize both neuropeptide Y and the related Peptide YY. The immunolocalization, neuronal distribution, and vesicular compartmentalization of neurotransmitter molecules and their precursors are important for understanding the modulation, regulation, and function of neurotransmitters in the nervous system.
