Use of HRP-conjugated or polymerized HRP secondary antibodies, stronger signals have been found using the polymerized HRP secondary. We only recommend mouse and rat species for IHC-P.

Perform heat-mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Target data

Function

G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity.

Notes

ab256589 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] ab76316.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

The tissue was embedded in Lowicryl HM20 resin. 60 nm sections were then cut and mounted on nickel mesh grids before undergoing antigen retrieval for 15 minutes in 0.01 M citrate buffer, pH 6 at 60°C.

    The sections were then blocked in 1% BSA/TBSN pH 7.6 and incubated overnight at room temperature with Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] (Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] ab76316) at 1:250. Sections were washed twice in TBSN pH 7.6, treated with 1% normal donkey serum/TBSN pH 8.2 for 30 minutes, before being incubated with donkey anti-rabbit IgG-Au 10-20 nm at 1:20 for two hours at room temperature.

    Sections were then washed in TBSN pH 8.2, followed by water, before undergoing post-staining with 1% uranyl acetate and Sato's lead. They were then air dried before being transferred to an oven for 30 minutes at 60°C.
