Cat. No.: 216 011

Amount: 100 µg

Price: $420.00

Cat. No. 216 011	100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H₂O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications	WB: 1 : 1000 (AP staining) gallery IP: yes ICC: not tested yet IHC: 1 : 100 gallery IHC-P: 1 : 1000 (see remarks) gallery Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section. Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background

Acetylcholine (ACh) functions as a neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems of all vertebrates, and is the principal neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction. This neurotransmitter is synthesized from choline (Ch) and acetyl-coenzyme A by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). For this pathway choline is required, which neurons acquire through high-affinity choline transporters (ChTs). ChT have been found on the presynaptic membrane but also on ACh containing synaptic vesicles.
