Gene Information

human ... P2RX7(5027)

Specificity

The epitope is specific for P2X7 and is not present in any other known protein.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: Rat, mouse (Solee et al. 2001) and Candida albicans (Koshlukova et al. 2000). The sequence is highly conserved in mouse and human (18/20 and 16/20 residues identical, respectively). Reactivity with other species has not been tested.

Immunogen

Purified peptide P2X7 from 576-595 of rat P2X7 (Koshlukova et al. 2000).

Application

Anti-P2X7 Receptor Antibody detects level of P2X7 Receptor & has been published & validated for use in IH & WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurotransmitters & Receptors
Western blot:1:200-1:1000 using ECL on rat brain membranes.

Immunohistochemistry (Vial & Evans 2000; Lewis & Evans 2000; Gitterman & Evans 2000)

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 40 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile distilled water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Salivary histatins (Hsts) are antifungal peptides with promise as therapeutic agents against candidiasis. Hst 5 kills the fungal pathogen Candida albicans via a mechanism that involves release of cellular ATP in the absence of cytolysis. Here we demonstrate that released

Immunoreactivity for P2X(1), P2X(4) and P2X(5) receptor subtypes was detected in the smooth muscle cell layer of second and third order rat mesenteric arteries immunoreactivity, for P2X(2), P2X(3), P2X(6) and P2X(7) receptors was below the level of detection in the

The distribution of P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R) subunits was studied in the rat retina using a subunit-specific antiserum. Punctate immunofluorescence was observed in the inner and outer plexiform layers. Double labeling of P2X(7) and the horizontal cell marker, calbindin, revealed extensive

Ependymal cells line the cerebral ventricles and are located in an ideal position to detect central nervous system injury and inflammation. The signaling mechanisms of ependymal cells, however, are poorly understood. As extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate is elevated in the context
