Product Name:

5-HT (Serotonin) 2A Receptor Antibody

Catalog Number:

24288

We have tested 5 other 5-Ht2a antibodies and this is the only one that shows specific signal using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. The specificity was tested three-ways: KO tissue, pre-absorbtion, and region-specific expression.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Rat and mouse brain tissue

Primary Incubation

1:500-1:1000

Blocking Agent

5% milk/TBST

Secondary Incubation

1:5000

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

ECL+

Results Summary

Specific band corresponding to glycosylated form of 5-HT2a was detected at ~75kDa. Band was not present in the KO tissue, pre-absorbed sample, or in a tissue with known minimum 5-HT2a expression.

Summary

The Good

Antibody specific for 5-HT2a, strong signal in rat brain tissue

The Bad

Signal is harder to obtain in mouse brain tissue.

The Bottom Line

The only specific antibody that we have come across.
