Specificity

Opsin, red and green. The antibody reacts with a protein of ~40 kDa.
Other species have not been tested. It is expected that the antibody will also react with zebra finch.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptides from mouse green opsin and zebra finch red opsin.

Application

Detect Opsin using this Anti-Opsin Antibody, Red/Green validated for use in ELISA & WB.
Immunoblotting: 1:500:1:2,000 on mouse brain extract. To minimize background staining it is suggested that you include a higher content of detergent (Tween-20) in your dilution and washing solutions.

Immunohistochemistry: not tested. It is recommended that you try the antibody at 1:50-1:1,000.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
