storage stability :
Store at 2-8 degree C. Do not freeze. The user must validate any other storage conditions. When properly stored, the reagent is stable to the date indicated on the label. Do not use the reagent beyond the expiration date. There are no definitive signs to indicate instability of this product; therefore, positive and negative controls should be tested simultaneously with unknown specimens. If unexpected results are observed which cannot be explained by variations in laboratory procedures and a problem with the reagent is suspected, contact Technical Support.

Primary Antibody Incubation: Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature. Slide Washing: Slides must be washed in between steps. Rinse slides with PBS/0.05% Tween. Visualization: Detect the antibody as instructed by the instructions provided with the visualization system. Immunohistochemistry Dilution: Ready To Use. IHC Positive Control: Pancreas
other info2 :
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide from C-terminus of human GAD65. Control Tissue: Pancreas. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasm. Entrez Gene Code: 2572. Pathway: Stem Cell
products description :
Adults express two forms of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), GAD65 and GAD67, which are encoded by different independently regulated genes. Both are expressed in most GABA containing neurons. GAD65 appears to be targeted to the membrane and nerve endings; while GAD67 is more widely distributed throughout the cell. GAD65 preferentially synthesizes GABA for vesicular release and GAD67 preferentially synthesizes cytoplasmic GABA. GAD65 is predominantly expressed in pancreatic beta cells and auto-antibodies to GAD65 which are strongly associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IMDM).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
