Intracellular flow cytometric analysis of permeabilized SH-SY5Y cells using ab76316 (red) at 1/20 or a rabbit IgG (ab172730) as a negative control (green). The cells were permeabilized with 2% PFA and a goat anti-rabbit IgG FITC was used as the secondary at 1/150.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab76316).

Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and samples were blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C, before incubation with the primary antibody (1/2000) for 16 hours at 21°C. An alexa fluor® 594 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary was used at 1/500.

Postembedding immunogold labeling of mouse neocortex using Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] (ab76316). 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] (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.

Product protocols

Target data

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.
