APPLICATION NOTES FOR AB5896

IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY

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 formalin-picric acid fixative (4% paraformaldehyde with 0.4% picric acid in 0.16 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.9) 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 AB5896 (1:1,000). 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.

IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRYP

2X3 transfected cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence. Media was removed and cells were gently washed 3 times with serum-free media. Following fixation procedure, cells were processed for indirect immunofluorescence as above.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative and progressive disease characterized by cartilage breakdown and by synovial membrane inflammation, which results in disability, joint swelling, and pain. The purinergic P2X3 and P2X2/3 receptors contribute to development of inflammatory hyperalgesia, participate in arthritis

The purinergic system plays an important role in pain transmission. Recent studies have suggested that activation of P2-purinergic receptors (P2Rs) may be involved in neuron-satellite glial cell (SGC) interactions in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), but the details remain unclear.

Musculoskeletal pain conditions, particularly those associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect a large percentage of the population. Identifying mechanisms underlying hyperalgesia could contribute to the development of new treatment strategies for the management of TMD and other muscle pain conditions.

The ability to discriminate between diverse types of sensation is mediated by heterogeneous populations of peripheral sensory neurons. Human peripheral sensory neurons are inaccessible for research and efforts to study their development and disease have been hampered by the availability
