+Kynurenic acid detection in human caudate putamen by IHC
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) reveals kynurenic acid accumulation in the cytoplasm of glial cells in human caudate putamen. Paraffin-embedded brain tissue section was subjected to pH=6 antigen retrieval followed by overnight incubation with the primary anti-kynurenic acid polyclonal antibody (dilution 1/2000). After incubation with polymer-conjugated secondary Ab, DAB was used to visualize the staining.
DatasheetMSDS
The anti-Kynurenic acid (KYNA) rabbit polyclonal antibody proved to work at 1/2000 dilution on paraffin-embedded tissues, a single vial thus catering for approximately 400 stainings.
