General description
EAAT2 transports L-glutamate and also L- and D-aspartate. It is essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Acts as a symport by cotransporting sodium.

Application
Western Blot: 1:500 dilution of this antibody detected GLT-1 on 10 ug of mouse brain membrane lysates.
Immunohistochemistry:
1:1,000-1:4,000 dilution from a previuos lot used a DAB detection system on adult rat forebrain fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde.
Immunohistochemistry:
1:5,000-10,000 dilution from a previuos lot used a cyanine conjugated secondary antibody.
Enzymatic detection requires substantially higher primary antibody dilutions. Lightly fixed 4% PFA material is recommended.
Notes:
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (b.wt. 100-150g) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and perfused via the ascending aorta with 50 mL of Ca2+-free Tyrode+s solution followed by a formalin-picric acid fixative (4% paraformaldehyde with 0.4% picric acid in 0.16 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.9) for 6 minutes. Tissues were rapidly dissected out, postfixed in the same fixative for 90 minutes and rinsed for at least 24 hours in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10% sucrose. Sections were cut (14 um) in a cryostat and incubated at 4°C overnight with AB1783 (1:5,000-1:10,000). After rinsing in PBS 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.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
