Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Refer to SDS for further information.

Functional Studies - (R,S)-CHPG, mGlu5 agonist (ab120039)SK-N-SH cells were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes with vehicle control (0 µM) and different concentrations of (R,S)-CHPG (ab120039). Increased expression of CREB (phospho S133) in SK-N-SH cells correlates with an increase in (R,S)-CHPG concentration, as described in literature.
Whole cell lysates were prepared with RIPA buffer (containing protease inhibitors and sodium orthovanadate), 20 µg of each were loaded on the gel and the WB was run under reducing conditions. After transfer the membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before being incubated with ab32096 at 1/500 dilution and ab32515 at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP (ab97051) at 1/10000 dilution and visualised using ECL development solution.
