Specificity

Serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine)

The cross-reactivities were determined using an ELISA test by competition experiments with the following compounds:



Compound Cross-reactivity

5-Hydroxytryptamine-G-PL 1

5-Methoxytryptamine-G-PL 1/25

Tryptamine-G-PL 1/60

5-Hydroxytryptophan-G-PL 1/175

5-Hydroxytryptamine 1/1150

Tryptophan-G-PL 1/3400

5-Methoxytryptophan-G-PL 1/19800



The antisera was also tested for specificity using the free-floating PAP technique on rat

raphe nuclei.



Abbreviations:



(G) Glutaraldehyde

(=) Non-reduced conjugate

(PL) Poly-lysine

Immunogen

5-Hydroxytryptamine-glutaraldehyde-Poly-lysine

Application

Anti-Serotonin Antibody detects level of Serotonin & has been published & validated for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1,000-1:2,500 by ABC or enhanced detection. Glutaraldehyde fixation is required. Antibody will not react with non-glutaraldehyde treated tissues. Blocking should be with serum or BSA containing 0.1-0.2% triton X-100; remove all blocking an detergents during primary antibody incubation. Dilute only in PBS or TBS for best results. For fluorescent detection antibody dilution must be reduced, but it is not recommended because of glutaraldehyde autofluorescence.



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
