This is a knockout-validated antibody summary, based on the publication "Genetic Deletion of GABAA Receptors Reveals Distinct Requirements of Neurotransmitter Receptors for GABAergic and Glutamatergic Synapse Development", as cited below [1]. Labome curates formal publications to compile a list of antibodies with unambiguous specificity within Validated Antibody Database (VAD).

Immunocytochemistry

Control and GABA(A)R β1-3 KO mice hippocampal neurons. Cells grown on coverslips were rinsed with PBS twice and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA)/4% sucrose/1x PBS solution for 15 min at RT or 1% PFA in 0.1 M Na-acetate buffer for 13 min at RT.

0.1% Triton X-100/10% normal goat serum in 1x PBS for 1 h.

1:500 dilution in 3%NGS/1x PBS incubated overnight at 4°.

Alexa Fluor 405, 555 or 647-conjugated IgG for 1 h.

Zeiss LSM 880 laser scanning confocal microscope using a 63 × oil objective (numerical aperture 1.4) at room temperature.

The same clone (N96/55) is sold as Abcam ab93612; Neuromab 73-137, 75-137; EMD Millipore MABN498.
