Overview
Cav1.3/CACNA1D Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC005) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-Cav1.3/CACNA1D primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
Application key:
Applications
- Western blot analysis of rat brain membranes:1. Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005), (1:200).
2. Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody, preincubated with Cav1.3/CACNA1D Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC005). - Expression of CaV1.3 in rat DRGImmunohistochemical staining of adult rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) with Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005). Staining appears in clusters of cells (green) but not in axons. Staining of neurofilament 200 demonstrates partial overlap with CaV1.3 in neuronal staining but not in axons (red).
- Western blot analysis of mouse brain (lanes 1 and 4), rat brain (lanes 2 and 5) and human brain neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) (lanes 3 and 6):
1-3. Guinea pig Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005-GP), (1:200).
4-6. Guinea pig Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody, preincubated with Cav1.3/CACNA1D Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC005).
