Antibody information

Mouse monoclonal

Company: Abcam

Antibody: alpha-synuclein

Catalog number: 4D6, ab1903

Summary: Mouse monoclonal against recombinant human alpha synuclein, produced in E.coli. Reacts with mouse, rat, and human. Suitable for western blot, immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Unsuitable fo flow cytometry or immunocytochemistry.

Validation Method

Immunohistochemistry | Immunofluorescence

Sample

Brain from wild type, a Thy1-mαSN, αSN-KO and a Thy1-mαSN transgene after crossing into the αSN knock-out (KO) genetic background. Tissues were embedded in paraffin and cut as 4 µm thick sections or 25 µm vibratome sections.

Blocking agent

Normal serum.

Primary incubation

1∶800 dilution.

Secondary incubation

IF: fluorescence-labeled secondary antibodies (FITC or Cy3-labeled goat anti-mouse, Jackson ImmunoResearch).

Detection

IHC: avidin-biotin peroxidase method (Elite standard kit SK6100, Vector) and DAB substrate (1718096 Boehringer), Vector VIP substrate (SK-4600, Vector).

Notes

Syn-1, 1∶500; S63320, Transduction Laboratories may be also KO validated. Authors did not specify which one was used.

Clone note

The same clone (4D6) is sold as BioLegend 834303, 834301, 834302; Abcam ab1903; Invitrogen MA1-90342; GeneTex GTX21903.
