Overview
Type: Synthetic peptide
Form: Lyophilized powder
TrkA (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NT018) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-TrkA (extracellular) Antibody (#ANT-018) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-TrkA (extracellular) 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.
Applications: wb, ihc

Applications
Demonstration of Pre-adsorption control
Western blot analysis of rat (lanes 1 and 3) and mouse (lanes 2 and 4) brain lysates:1,2. Anti-TrkA (extracellular) Antibody (#ANT-018), (1:200).
3,4. Anti-TrkA (extracellular) Antibody, preincubated with TrkA (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NT018).
Expression of TrkA in rat DRGImmunohistochemical staining of rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) frozen sections using Anti-TrkA (extracellular) Antibody (#ANT-018), (1:100). TrkA (red staining) is expressed in DRG neurons and in satellite microglia (arrows). Hoechst 33342 is used as the counterstain.
Expression of TrkA in rat brain hippocampal dentate gyrusImmunohistochemical staining of immersion-fixed, free floating rat brain frozen sections. A. Brain sections were stained using Anti-TrkA (extracellular) Antibody (#ANT-018), (1:1000), (green staining). B. The same section was also stained for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (red and counterstained blue). C. Overlay of A and B demonstrates co-localization of TrkA and GFAP in dentate gyrus astrocytes.
