Alomone Labs has developed three innovative product lines for studying ion channel protein-protein interaction and/or protein co-localization:
✓ Primary antibodies conjugated to biotin or ATTO-fluorescent dyes: These antibodies could be used in immunohistochemistry (IH) and immunocytochemistry (IC) with same species antibodies. ✓ Antibodies raised in guinea pig: These second species antibodies can be used with any other non-guinea pig second species antibodies in immuno-colocalization studies such as IH and IC. ✓ Toxins conjugated to ATTO-fluorescent dyes: These labeled toxins can be used with any antibody to obtain highly specific channel localization.

Immuno-colocalization of Orexin Receptor 1 and Parathyroid Hormone 1 Receptor in rat ventromedial hypothalamus
Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen rat brain sections using Anti-Orexin Receptor 1-ATTO-488 antibody (#AOR-001-AG), (1:60) and Anti-Parathyroid Hormone 1 Receptor (extracellular) antibody (#APR-051), (1:60). A. Sections were incubated Anti-Parathyroid Hormone 1 Receptor (extracellular) antibody, followed by donkey-anti-rabbit-Cy3 (red). B. The same sections were incubated with Anti-Orexin Receptor 1-ATTO-488 antibody, (green). C. Merge of A and B shows staining of Orexin Receptor 1 in nerve fibers (vertical arrows) while Parathyroid Hormone 1 Receptor is apparent on cell bodies (horizontal arrows). Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).
Immuno-colocalization of GluA1 and Vesicular GABA Transporter in human U-87 MG cells
Immuno-colocalization of AMPA Receptor 1 (GluR1) and Vesicular GABA Transporter in human U-87 MG cellsImmunocytochemical staining of human glioblastoma U-87 MG. Extracellular staining of live intact cells with Guinea pig Anti-AMPA Receptor 1 (GluA1) (extracellular) antibody (#AGP-009), (1:25), followed by goat anti-guinea pig-AlexaFluor-488 secondary antibody (green). Cells were subsequently fixed, permeabilized and labeled with Anti-Vesicular GABA Transporter antibody (#AGT-005), (1:200), followed by goat anti-rabbit-AlexaFluor-594 secondary antibody (red). Representative merged images of the double labeled cells are shown in A and B.
Immuno-colocalization of TRPC6 and TRPC3 in rat cerebellum
Immunohistochemical staining of rat cerebellum frozen section using Guinea pig Anti-TRPC6 antibody (#AGP-002) and rabbit Anti-TRPC3 antibody (#ACC-016). A. TRPC6 staining (green) appears in molecular layer and in Purkinje cells. B. In the same section, staining of TRPC3 (red) appears as well in both molecular layer and Purkinje cells. C. Merge images of A and B indicates extensive co-localization. DAPI is used as the counterstain (blue).
Immuno-colocalization of P2X7 Receptor and Iba-1 microglia marker in mouse spinal cord
Immunohistochemical staining of mouse spinal cord sections (L3–L5) from SOD1-G93A mice were double-immunostained either with anti-Iba-1, NeuN or GFAP (green) and Anti-P2X7 Receptor-ATTO-550 (#APR-004-AO), (red). P2X7 is present only in microglia cells as shown in the merged panel (yellow). Scale bar = 20 μm, insets = 50 μm.Adapted from Apolloni, S.et al. (2013) with permission of Oxford University Press.
Immuno-colocalization of CaV1.2 and GABA(A) α1 Receptor in rat cerebellum
Immunohistochemical staining of rat cerebellum using Guinea pig Anti-CaV1.2 antibody (#AGP-001) and Anti-GABA(A) α1 Receptor (extracellular) antibody (#AGA-001). A. CaV1.2 (green) is detected in the granule layer of the cerebellum (G) and in the upper molecular layer (star). B. In the same section, GABA(A) α1 Receptor (red) is seen in the granule layer. C. Merge of the two images reveals high degree of colocalization between CaV1.2 and GABA(A) α1 Receptor in the granule layer.
