Specificity

Mu Opioid receptor.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide (Catalog number AG375) from the C-terminus of rat mu Opioid receptor corresponding to residues 384-398 of the rat mu opioid receptor.

Application

Anti-Opioid Receptor μ Antibody-AB5509 is an antibody against Opioid Receptor for use in IC, IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-500 See Protocol.

Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 See Protocol.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

IHC Protocol: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (b.wt. 100-150g) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and perfused via the ascending aorta with: 1) 50 mL of Ca2+-free Tyrode+s solution followed by 2) a paraformaldehyde-picric acid fixative and 3) 10% sucrose in PBS as a cryo-protectant. Tissues were rapidly dissected out and stored overnight in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10% sucrose. Slide-mounted tissue sections were incubated with blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature. Primary antibody was diluted in blocking buffer to the appropriate working dilution. Blocking buffer was removed and the slides were then incubated at 2-8°C for 18-24 hours with AB5509. After rinsing in PBS 3 times sections were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with Cy3-conjugated secondary antibodies. After mounting in a mixture of PBS and glycerol (1:3) containing 0.1% p-phenylenediamine, sections were examined with a Nikon Microphot-SA epifluorescence microscope.

ICC Protocol: Mu opioid receptor transfected cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence. Media was removed and cells were gently washed 3 times with serum free media. Media was removed and cells were gently washed 3 times with serum free media. Following fixation, cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence as described above.

Studies have examined how endometriosis interacts with the nervous system, but little attention has been paid to opioidergic systems, which are relevant to pain signaling. We used the autotransplantation rat model of endometriosis and allowed to progress for 60 days.
