Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] (ab76316)

Array tomography of adult mouse neocortex using Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] (ab76316) (green), VGluT1 (red) and DAPI (blue).

Tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde before being embedded in LRWhite resin. Ultra-thin sections (70 nm) were incubated with Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 antibody [EPR2425Y] (ab76316) at a concentration of 1:13 overnight at 4^oC. Secondary antibodies were applied for 30 minutes at room temperature.

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^oC

Samples were blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C, before incubation with the primary antibody (1/2000) for 2 hours at 21°C. A biotin conjugated goatanti-rabbit IgG secondary was used at 1/250.

Cells were fixed with formaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked with 5% serum for 20 minutes at 22°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200) for 24 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated chicken anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.
