Overview
Type: Synthetic peptide
Form: Lyophilized powder
TRPV1/VR1 Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC030) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-TRPV1 (VR1) Antibody (#ACC-030) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-TRPV1/VR1 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

2. Anti-TRPV1 (VR1) Antibody, preincubated with TRPV1/VR1 Blocking Peptide (#BLP-CC030).
Expression of TRPV1 in rat DRGImmunohistochemical staining of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) using Anti-TRPV1 (VR1) Antibody (#ACC-030). A. TRPV1 (red) in DRG neurons. B. Staining with mouse anti-Parvalbumin (green) in the same DRG section. C. Confocal merge of TRPV1 and Parvalbumin demonstrates colocalization (arrows).
