Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 minutes at room temperature; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a sodium citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/20) overnight at 4°C. A HRP-conjugated secondary antibody was used for detection.

The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab28373, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in SH-SY5Y cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Question

Dear Abcam manager


I just send you the mail again to ask about the 2nd antibody for fluoroscence WB detection.

I sent you the specification information on chemidoc system that we want to use last week but didn't get reply yet.

According to BioRad web sites, each color emission filter can detect below dyes.



RED: Cy5, Cy5.5, Alexa Fluor 647 / 680, DyLight 649 / 680, IRDye 680

GREEN: Cy3, Flamingo, Krypton, Pro-Q Diamond, Alexa Fluor 546, DyLight 549, Rhodamine

BLUE: Cy2, Coomassie Fluor Orange, Alexa Fluor 488, DyLight 488, Pro-! Emerald, Qdot 605 / 625 / 705

Answer

Thank you for your message and for your patience.
It is difficult to find three secondary antibodies in three colors that woudl be suitable, but I hope the following will help. Please check the excitation and emission wavelenghts and spectra to ensure they are suitable for the machine you are using. (I say this because some of the blue dyes they suggest go into the green range in the light spectra). I can recommend to review the online datasheets for further information.
Anti NMDAR1 antibody (ab77264, goat polyclonal)
Red fluorophore Secondary antibodies for detection of goat primary:
Donkey anti-Goat IgG H&L (PE) secondary antibody (ab7004)
Donkey F(ab')2 polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Goat IgG - H&L (PE), pre-adsorbed

Green fluorophore Secondary antibodies for detection of rabbit primary:
ab6798 Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (FITC) secondary antibody

Anti-NMDAR2B antibody (ab28373, mouse monoclonal)
The following may fit into the blue channel on the instrument you are using, but I can suggest to please check this. The emission spectra is slightly into the green spectra.

I am sorry we do not have any that are tested and covered by the 6 month guarantee in western blot to suggest on this occasion.
The other option is to directly conjugate the primary antibodies yourself with our Easylink kits. These are quick and easy to use. However, please note that we recommend the following for these kits:
The antibody to be conjugated should be in 10-50mM amine-free buffer within a pH range of 6.5-8.5. Modest concentrations of Tris buffer (up to 20mM) are also tolerated.
I can recommend to read the following important information and frequently asked questions about the kits before selecting a suitable antibody to conjugate:

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=resource&rid=13156
I hope this will be helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Question

Currently using ab28373 in hamster tissue (IHC-Fr Fl), but not getting any signal.
Is there any NR2B antibodies that would work with hamster tissue.

Read More
Answer

Thank you for calling Abcam earlier today.

I have continued to try and find the hamster sequence for NR2B to see if there is any antibodies in our catalogue that may work for hamster, but I have not been able to find the hamster sequence.

There is a chance that ab65783 might work for you, but without the hamster sequence, I would feel unsure recommending it to you. If there is any chance that you could find the sequence and forward that to me, I would gladly do the alignments and see if there is a chance that it would work for you.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
