Application NotesFrozen Sections (2-5 µg/ml)
Immunoblotting (not recommended)
Application CommentsThis antibody is not recommended for immunoblotting using total mouse or rat brain extract. Immunohistochemistry was performed using floating mouse and rat brain sections fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Staining was completely abolished by preincubating the affinity purified antibody with control peptide at 10-6M. Unconjugated serotonin 5-HT3 receptor control peptide has been included for use as an internal control for antibody specificity. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Application Data
Detection of human Serotonin 5-HT3 Receptor by staining frozen sections. Samples: Floating mouse brain fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Primary antibody: Anti-Serotonin (5-HT3) Receptor (444-457) Rabbit pAb (Cat. No. PC347) (5 µg/ml). Detection: DAB.
DescriptionImmunoaffinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody. Recognizes the serotonin (5-HT3) receptor.
BackgroundThe monoamine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) mediates a variety of physiological actions by binding to a number of distinct receptors, pharmacologically classified into several major groups which differ in 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 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel that mediates a fast excitatory response. This receptor is a member of the superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels related to the nicotinic, GABAA and NMDA receptors. Although the 5-HT3 receptor was initially identified from the neuroblastoma cell line NCB-20, radioligand binding studies and in situ hybridization studies have localized the 5-HT3 receptor to a unique distribution of neurons, supporting possible roles for the receptor in cognition and sensory input. Recent immunohistochemical analysis of the rat brain revealed a broad distribution of 5-HT3 immunoreactivity, primarily including interneurons and motor neurons.
