Anti-Histamine antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Histamine, (2-(4-Imidazolyl)ethylamine), is a widely distributed substance in peripheral tissues. Histamine is localized in mast cells, neuronal cells and neuroendocrine cells of the gastric tract. It is also expressed in lungs, kidney, in cerebrovascular endothelial cells and throughout the peripheral nervous system.

Specificity

The product specifically stains histamine-containing cells in paraformaldehyde/carbodiimide-fixed or paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of rat stomach (endocrine cells and mast cells).

Immunogen

histamine conjugated to succinylated KLH

Application

Anti-Histamine antibody produced in rabbit has been used:

• in immunohistochemistry
• to test immunohistochemical reactions of Pseudophoxinus antalyae digestive system tissues
• in immunocytochemical assays
• in immunofluorescence assays

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histamine, (2-(4-Imidazolyl)ethylamine) mediates a variety of physiological activities including inflammation, gastric acid secretion and smooth muscle contraction. It is also implicated in modulation of cell growth and differentiation, during embryogenesis, and tumor growth and in the suppression of mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation. In the central nervous system (CNS), histamine acts as a neurotransmitter/ neuromodulator of various brain activities.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 15 mM sodium azide
