Product Name:

SLC6A4/5-HTTLPR/Serotonin transporter Antibody

Catalog Number:

H00006532-D01P

This antibody was used to stain for the serotonin transporter on primary cells. Cells were fixed by 4% Para-formaldehyde and permeabilized with saponin. Then they were washed and stained with primary antibody at 1:25 dilution for 1 hour, then washed and stained with secondary antibody for 1 hour. The cells were then subjected to analysis by FACS.
