+Kynurenic acid detection in human brain by IF (mouse mAb)
Immufluorescence shows kynurenic acid accumulation in the cytoplasm of glial cells in human caudate-putamen. Paraffin-embedded tissue section was subjected to pH=6 antigen retrieval followed by overnight incubation with primary anti-Kynurenic acid antibody (dilution 1/250). After incubation with fluorescent dye-conjugated secondary Ab, epifluorescence microscopy (100X) was used to visualize the staining.
DatasheetMSDS
The monoclonal 4G12-A12 anti-Kynurenic acid antibody was validated for IHC and IF in human caudate putamen tissues. Competitive ELISA demonstrated the antibody to be highly affine and specific.
