Application

Immunohistochemistry using silver-intensified immunogold or fluorescence (see recommended protocol). Samples should be fixed with 0.1% - 2.5% glutaraldehyde for optimum detection.

*This antibody has also been used and found to work with a zero-low glutaraldehyde / high paraformaldehyde fixation (4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer / 3% sucrose fixative ). The minimum glutaraldehyde concentration for AB5018 is 0.00%. See protocol that follows. Performance is good with frozen sections, Vibratome sections and tissue culture formats, when penetrating reagents such as 0.3% Triton X-100 are used.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

DILUTION: Prepare enough of the AB5018 for your days use by diluting 100X with 1% GSPBT.

This Anti-Glutamate (No Glutaraldehyde) Antibody is validated for use in IH for the detection of Glutamate (No Glutaraldehyde).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutamate (L-Glutamate). The antibody has been calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity and proper affinity. No measurable cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against glutamate in peptides or proteins. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against L-alanine, gamma-aminobutyrate, 1-amino-4-guanidobutane (AGB), D/L-arganine, D/L-aspartate, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, taurine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine. Modest cross-reactivity (1:20) against D-glutamate. Significant cross-reactivity (1:8) against free NAAG in competition assays (NAAG is not retained in glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue).

Pathways and Biomarkers of Glutamatergic Synapse Flyer

Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter found in the synaptic vesicles of glutamatergic synapses. The post-synaptic neurons in these synapses contain ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamate binds to AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid) subtype glutamate receptors, leading to sodium influx into the post-synaptic cell and resulting in neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. The NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) subtype glutamate receptors, on the other hand, regulate synaptic plasticity, and can influence learning and memory. The metabotropic g-protein coupled mGluRs modulate downstream calcium signaling pathways and indirectly influence the synapse’s excitability. The synaptic architecture includes intracellular scaffolding proteins (PSD-95, GRIP), intercellular cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs, N-Cadherins), and a variety of signaling proteins (CaMKII/PKA, PP1/PP2B). Processes critical for synaptic transmission and plasticity are influenced by these molecules and their interactions. When the function of these molecules is disrupted, it leads to synaptic dysfunction and degeneration, and can contribute to dementia as seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
