Overview
Fluorescent 5-HT1A antagonist
Excitation wavelength: 633 nm
Emission wavelength: 650 nm
Properties
To determine the antagonist activity of ab118177, serial dilutions of the agonist was added to wells with or without ab118177. The agonist Ca++ response in the absence or presence of ab118177 was determined by exciting at 340 nm and 380 nm and ratioing the fluorescence intensity of Fura-2 signal collected at 320 nm.
The KD was calculated from the shift of the agonist response curve.
Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab118177 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Notes |
|---|---|
| Fluorescent Cell Imaging | Fluorescent Cell Imaging: Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
| Small Molecule Fluorescent Optical Detection | Small Molecule Fluorescent Optical Detection: Use at an assay dependent concentration. |

To determine the antagonist activity of ab118177, serial dilutions of the agonist was added to wells with or without ab118177. The agonist Ca++ response in the absence or presence of ab118177 was determined by exciting at 340nm and 380 nm and ratioing the fluorescence intensity of Fura-2 signal collected at 320 nm. The apparent KD was calculated from the rightward shift of the agonist response curve in the presence of ab118177, compared to the response curve for the agonist alone. KD values Antagonist –log; KD values 5-HT1A 8.75: 5-HT2A 6.34
