Inquiry: Hello, Do you have an antigen for pre-adsorption controls for teh following product? https://www.abcam.com/GAD65-antibody-GAD-6-Neuronal-Marker-ab26113.html

Thank you for the clarification! Unfortunately the blocking peptide is not available for this particular antibody. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.


Thank you for replacement GAD65 ab 112497. I try it on my western blot. The ab
lind up to all my mark. and no band was found on my positive control(Rat brain
tissue). The reason I select 112497, because I think this is polycolonal ab and...

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am sorry to hear that the replacement ab112497 did not work in Western blot. Just to confirm, there were multiple bands in your neuron lysate, and no bands with the rab brain lysate? Were you using the sa...

Thank you for your information.
I didn't try it in other Rat tissues, I may try it and let you know the results.
I also couldn't find any related papers.
I would like to try polycolone Ab.
Best Regards!

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm sending a free of charge vial of ab112497 on the order **** so that you can compare the results to those with ab26113. This antibody is out of stock but we expect it to arrive around September 27 (next ...

Band around 65 kDa with rat brain tissue lysate, 40 kDa in neural cell lysate. Is this 40 kDa band specific. 1:1000 dilution. Normal culture conditions.

Thank you very much for your call yesterday and for your patience while I've looked into your enquiry.

I actually could not find a reference showing analysis of endogneous GAD65 in culture neurons by Western blot. So, I'm still not quite sure...

Hello,



thanks a lot for your answer.

I would have another question though: as the GAD65 antibody is confined to nerve terminals, is it (in general) possible to stain for GAD65 cell bodies? Are there antibodies that are...

Thank you for your enquiry regarding ab26113.

It has been reported that GAD65 is transported to nerve terminals and this antibody (ab26113) should stain them as “puncta” around the cell body of their target neurons.
