Specificity

Serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine)

The cross-reactivities were determined using an ELISA test by competition experiments with the following compounds:



Compound Cross-reactivity

5-Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL 1

5-Methoxytryptamine-G-PL 1/25

Tryptamine-G-PL 1/60

5-Hydroxytryptophan-G-PL 1/175

5-Hydroxytryptamine 1/1150

Tryptophan-G-PL 1/3400

5-Methoxytryptophan-G-PL 1/19800



The antisera was also tested for specificity using the free-floating PAP technique on rat

raphe nuclei.

Immunogen

5-Hydroxytryptamine-glutaraldehyde-Poly-lysine

Application

Anti-Serotonin Antibody detects level of Serotonin & has been published & validated for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1,000-1:2,500 by ABC or enhanced detection. Glutaraldehyde fixation is required. Antibody will not react with non-glutaraldehyde treated tissues. Blocking should be with serum or BSA containing 0.1-0.2% triton X-100; remove all blocking an detergents during primary antibody incubation. Dilute only in PBS or TBS for best results. For fluorescent detection antibody dilution must be reduced, but it is not recommended because of glutaraldehyde autofluorescence.



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Classical anesthetics of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA(A))-enhancing class (e.g., pentobarbital, chloral hydrate, muscimol, and ethanol) produce analgesia and unconsciousness (sedation). Dissociative anesthetics that antagonize the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (e.g., ketamine, MK-801, dextromethorphan, and phencyclidine) produce analgesia but

Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically characterized by impairment of motor function. Gait disturbances similar to those observed in patients with PD can be observed in animals after injection of neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) to induce unilateral nigrostriatal dopamine depletion.

Studies across a diverse group of metazoan embryos indicate that Wnt signaling often activates the transcription factor Sp5, forming a signaling 'cassette' that plays critical roles in many developmental processes. This study explores the role of Wnt/Sp5 signaling during the

The vertebrate brain is highly conserved topologically, but less is known about neuroanatomical variation between individual brain regions. Neuroanatomical variation at the regional level is hypothesized to provide functional expansion, building upon ancestral anatomy needed for basic functions. Classically, animal
