Anti-Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor m1 Antibody (C15-1316-191)

Specificity

Recognizes a full length m1 protein. It has exhibited no cross reactivity with other muscarinic proteins tested so far.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein and part of i3 intercellular loop of human m1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (amino acids 227-353) (Accession P11229).

This Anti-Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor m1 Antibody is validated for use in IH, WB for the detection of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor m1.

Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membranes with proteinase inhibitors. M1 is approximately 60-80kDa in size, some preparations yield 125kDa dimers (photo). Heating samples to 80-90C rather than fulling boiling and adjusting sample pH to neutral can help in preventing dimer formation.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Immunohistochemistry: rat frozen sections. 1:50-1:200, internal epitope; use triton X-100 in blocking buffer only; dilute primary antibody in PBS or TBS with 0.5%-1% BSA or NGS only.



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 x g for 5 min).

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
Included free of charge with the antibody is 60 μg of control fusion protein (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the fusion protein can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot using 10 ng of protein per minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
