Immunohistochemical Localization of CB2 Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CB2 receptors were immunostained with the polyclonal anti-cannabinoid receptor II antibody (ab45942, Abcam, USA; dilution 1:50), using Alexa 488-conjugated anti-rabbit raised in goat (Molecular Probes–Invitrogen; dilution 1:400) as the secondary antibody. Antibodies were diluted in PBS supplemented with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.04% triton. All preparations were contrasted with TOPRO-3 iodide (Life Technologies, USA; dilution 1:500). Specificity was confirmed in separated experiments with additional negative controls, including tissue sections incubated with primary antibody pre-adsorbed to an excess of control peptide (ab45941, Abcam, USA; dilution 1:25).
Cochleae assigned to surface preparations were immunolabeled once bisected into two halves and before final dissection, by means of a “free floating” technique. Transversal sections were immunolabeled once mounted on the slide and conveniently dried.
As a positive control of the primary antibody used, spleen and kidneys [28 (link)] of each animal were submitted to the same protocol.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
