Overview
- Product nameAnti-L Glutamate antibodySee all L Glutamate primary antibodies ...
- DescriptionRabbit polyclonal to L Glutamate
- SpecificityThe antibody is calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity. No measurable cross-reactivity (<1:1000) was detected against glutamate in peptides or proteins. Fixed tissue cross-reactivity was tested with known targets at the recommended dilution. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) was detected against L-alanine, gamma-aminobutyrate, D/L-aspartate, agmatine, guanidine, D/L-arginine, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, taurine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine. Modest cross-reactivity (1:20) was detected against D-glutamate. Significant cross-reactivity (1:8) was detected against free NAAG in competition assays (NAAG is not retained in aldehyde-fixed tissue).
- Tested applicationsIHC-FoFr, IHC-Fr, ICC, Immunomicroscopy, IHC-P more details
- Species reactivityReacts with: Rat, Zebrafish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus
- Immunogen
L-glutamate conjugated to glutaraldehyde
- General notesThe product is optimized for HPI/EHPI with gold or fluorescence detection using etched plastic sections. Filter diluted reagents with 0.2 mm syringe filters before use on EM grids. Enzyme-linked visualizations can be used but will compress the signal dynamic range and are less sensitive.

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab9440 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Notes |
|---|---|
| IHC-FoFr | IHC-FoFr: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Use with frozen or vibratome sections is possible but will not yield optimal images as IgGs penetrate aldehyde cross-linked tissue poorly and most amino acids are present at such high levels that prozone effects occur. |
| IHC-Fr | IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent dilution. |
| ICC | ICC: 1/100. See protocol. OPTIMAL FIXATION: 0.1-2.5% glutaraldehyde,1% formaldehyde using HPI protocol (The antisera targets the glutaraldehyde conjugate of the hapten). All procedures may be carried out at room temperature. MINIMAL GLUTARALDEHYDE: 0.00% using minimum glutaraldehyde Enhanced HPI (EHPI) protocol with 4% formaldehyde. |
| Immunomicroscopy | IM: Use at an assay dependent dilution. |
| IHC-P | IHC-P: Use at an assay dependent dilution. |
