Immunofluorescence imaging of Octopamine in crayfish brainAnti-Octopamine antibody highlights the arborization of octopamine neurones in the brain of a crayfish. Staining was performed using STAINperfect immunostaining kit A, following the protocol for whole mount. Fluorescent labeled secondary antibody was used and picture obtained by confocal imaging. This picture highlights the presence of Octopamine within fibers.
Imaging of Octopamine in brain of a crayfishDetection of octopaminergic neurons in the crayfish brain using STAINperfect immunostaining kit A and according to the protocol for whole mount samples. Secondary antibody was used and image obtained by confocal imaging at high magnification. This staining reveals the presence of Octopamine within particular cell bodies.
Affinity & specificity of anti-Octopamine antibodyCompetitive ELISA demonstrates that low amounts of Octopamine conjugate are required to abolish antigen-antibody reaction (high affinity), while rising concentrations of Tyramine and Noradrenaline (Octopamine competitors) do not affect reaction (high specificity).

Frequently asked questions
What is the IS1033 Octopamine Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal?
The Octopamine Antibody (IS1033) is a purified rabbit polyclonal antibody developed for research use. It is optimized to detect octopamine with high affinity and specificity in applications like immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), making it a valuable tool for visualizing octopaminergic structures using the STAINperfect™ immunostaining kit A.
How specific is this octopamine antibody?
Competitive ELISA assays confirm that the IS1033 antibody binds strongly to octopamine conjugates while showing negligible cross-reactivity with structurally related neurotransmitters—such as tyramine, dopamine, or noradrenaline—ensuring accurate immunolabeling in complex tissue samples.
What sample types has this antibody been validated for?
IS1033 has been validated for use in whole-mount preparations, cell cultures, and tissue sections. It has demonstrated effective immunofluorescence labeling, particularly in crayfish brain tissues, when used with the STAINperfect™ kit.
Is the antibody compatible across different species?
This antibody is broadly reactive across species. Like other small-molecule-targeted antibodies from ImmuSmol, IS1033 is compatible with samples from any species because small molecules such as octopamine are phylogenetically conserved across species.
What is the recommended dilution and storage protocol?
For best results, IS1033 should be used at dilutions between 1/250 and 1/1000, depending on sample type and staining conditions, using the antibody diluent included in the STAINperfect™ kit. Short-term storage at +4 °C is acceptable (up to two weeks), while long-term aliquoting at –20 °C is advised to preserve antibody integrity—avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Has this antibody been referenced in recent scientific publications?
Yes—one of the most recent studies, published in 2025 by Xu et al., titled “cAMP-related second messenger pathways modulate hearing function in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes,” used the IS1033 antibody (at 1:500 dilution) in its immunoassay protocol. Another well-cited study from 2022, “Octopamine drives honeybee thermogenesis,” used IS1033 in immunolabeling to map octopaminergic neurons in honeybee flight muscles.
What support and guarantees does ImmuSmol offer with this antibody?
ImmuSmol ensures fast international delivery via FedEx, a 30-day free return or refund policy for user satisfaction, free replacement for any shipping damage, and direct scientific support from our in-house antibody scientists that developed this antibody, fostering confidence and ease of use in research workflows.
