Western blot: 1:100-1:500 using ECL. Suggested dilution buffer is PBS and blocking buffer is PBS containing 5% milk. Recognizes 36 kDa monomers, dimmers and trimers depending on sample preparation. Boiling induces the aggregation of rhodopsin.

Western blot of isolated bovine rod outer segment labeled for rhodopsin (~85% of rod outer segment protein) with the rho 1D4 antibody. Amount of rod outer segments applied to the SDS gel: (a) 2.5 mg; (b) 0.63 mg; (c) 0.16 mg; (d) 0.04 mg. At higher protein quantities, dimers, trimers and tetramers of rhodopsin can be observed along with the monomer.

Immunohisto/cytochemistry: 1:100-1:500 on paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde fixed frozen tissue sections. Preferred fixation is paraformaldehyde for 4 hours at 2-8°C. Suggested permeabilization method is 0.2% Triton X-100.

Immunoprecipitation

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
