Calca rabbit polyclonal antibody, Serum

Product Data

• Application: IF, IHC
• Recommended Dilution: Immunofluorescence: 1/800-1/1200; Incubation Time: Overnight at 2-8°C.; Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Paraffin Sections: 1/1000-1/2000 using PAP.; For antigen retrieval in paraffin sections the microwave method is recommended.; Positive Control: Frozen sections of Rat colon.
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Antibody Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Calcitonin gene-related peptide, Rat (#6006, Peninsula).
• Specificity: This antibody recognizes CGRP.; Absorption with 10-100 µg CGRP per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining while Calcitonin does not.; Does not cross-react with Amylin (IAPP).
• Buffer: State: Serum; State: Lyophilized Undiluted Serum.
• Reconstitution Method: Dissolve the antiserum in 50-100 µl distilled water, and dilute further in 0.1 M PBS with 1% BSA and 0.09% NaN3.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C.; Following reconstitution store the antibody at -20°C.; Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Stability: Shelf life: one year from despatch.
• Shipping: Ambient
• Gene Name: calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha
• Database Link:
  P01256
• Background: The CGRP-sequence was predicted from the corresponding mRNA. CGRP is present in the C-cells of the thyroid and in nerves, in both brain and periphery, particularly within the sensory system. CGRP is a potent vasodilator, probably involved in neurogenic inflammation. Medullary carcinomas of the thyroid contain large amounts of CGRP.
• Synonyms: Calcitonin gene-related peptide I, Alpha-type CGRP, CALC1, CGRP-I
