Specificity

Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter (VAChT). By Western blot the antibody reacted with a single band in rat brain homogenates. This band corresponded to the size of the predicted rVAChT. There was no staining of blots incubated with the antibody that had been preabsorbed with the peptide used for antibody production. By immunohistochemistry the staining was strong in the inner retina where cholinergic processes are located and weak in cholinergic cell bodies. There was no background staining noted. In the CNS staining was strong in fibers and stains cholinergic cell bodies well.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of the predicted rat VAChT protein.

Application

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:1,500 on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed tissue. Sections were cut at 15 μm with a cryostat or 30 μm with a sliding microtome.

Immunoblotting

Blocking peptide available (Catalog Number AG223).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
