Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-Serotonin antibody [YC5/45] (AB6336)

Paraformaldehyde-fixed rabbit spinal cord tissue stained for Serotonin using ab6336 at 1/200 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis. Power Block™ Universal Blocking Reagen t(Biogenex) was used as ablocking agent for 10 minute(s) at a concentration of 10% at 37°C. Biotin-SP-conjugated Goat Anti-Rat IgG was used as the secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Serotonin antibody [YC5/45] (AB6336)

IHC image of Serotonin staining in mouse brain (coronal) formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab6336, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Serotonin also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter mainly involved in modulating mood emotion and behavior. It weighs approximately 176.2 Da and appears in several body tissues including the central nervous system gastrointestinal tract and blood platelets. Neurons within the raphe nuclei of the brainstem predominantly synthesize serotonin influencing various physiological processes. Its mechanical role involves binding to and activating specific serotonin receptors classified into seven different types each mediating distinct signaling pathways.
Biological function summary

Serotonin regulates multiple bodily functions beyond mood such as appetite sleep and circadian rhythm. It forms part of a complex system interacting with various receptor subtypes which include the anti-serotonergic pathways inhibiting its action. Each receptor subtype leads to different downstream effects in cells contributing to the diversity of serotonin's biological roles. For research purposes scientists often use an ELISA kit to measure serotonin levels and this can influence the ELISA test cost based on the specificity and sensitivity required.

Pathways

Serotonin participates in both the serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways illustrating its central role in neurotransmission. The serotonergic pathway is essential for transmitting nerve impulses while its interaction with the dopaminergic system significantly affects mood and reward-related behaviors. Key proteins such as tryptophan hydroxylase for serotonin synthesis and the vesicular monoamine transporter are involved within these pathways and may alter serotonin's functional availability.

Serotonin is closely linked to depression and anxiety disorders where its imbalance can lead to mood disturbances. Antidepressant treatments often target serotonin receptors or its transporters restoring its levels within synapses. Serotonin's connection to these conditions extends through its relationship with proteins like the serotonin transporter (SERT) which recycles serotonin in the synaptic cleft. Understanding these dynamics presents potential targets for interventions and anti-serotonergic agents may offer therapeutic options for managing such disorders.
