Immuostaining is completely abolished by soluble pre-adsorption with bovine insulin at 10 µg per mL of diluted antiserum.
The ACTH Antibody was raised to ACTH (1-39) purified from porcine pituitary. The antibody produces a maximum fluorescein staining at a 1/100 - 1/200 dilution and a 4+ biotin-streptavidin/HRP staining at a 1/500 - 1/1000 dilution in rat anterior/intermediate pituitary. Optimal dilution will vary depending upon fixation, labeling technique and/or detection system; therefore, a dilution series is recommended. The recommened dilution series are 1/100-1/200 in PBS/0.3% Triton X-100 - FITC Technique and 1/500-1/1000 in PBS/0.3% Triton X-100 - Bn-SA/HRP Technique. Staining is completely eliminated by pretreatment of the diluted antibody with 100 µg/mL of ACTH.
The GHRF (Growth Hormone Releasing Factor) Antibody was raised to rat hypothalamic GHRF (1-43). The antibody produces strong labeling of GHRH at dilutions of 1/200-1/400 using indirect immunofluorescence and at dilutions of 1/2,000 - 1/4,000 using biotin/streptavidin HRP in rat hypothalamus (median eminence). Cross reactivity of GHRF antiserum was examined using the paper spot technique of Larsson (1981). Using 2 µL, 100 pmole amounts, the following substances did not react with rat GHRF antisera diluted 1/500 using the PAP labeling method: glucagon, gastric inhibitory peptide, secretin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, peptide histidine isoleucine, pancreatic polypeptide (human or rat), human GHRF, somatostatin, insulin, ACTH, motilin, cholecystokinin octapeptide, substance P, molluscan cardioexcitatiory peptide, gastrin 34, and serotonin. GHRF antiserum had a very good reactivity using rat GHRF at 2 µL, 100 pmole amounts.
This antibody has been shown to react strongly with human GFAP as well as with GFAP from rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, kangaroo, sheep, cat and monkey. Excellent staining results were obtained when rabbit anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein serum was tested.

The gamma amino butyric acid antiserum was quality control tested using standard immunohistochemical methods. The antiserum demonstrates strongly positive labeling of rat thalamus and cerebellum using indirect immunofluorescent and biotin/avidin-HRP techniques. Recommended primary dilutions are 1/15,000- 1/20,000 in PBS /0.3% Triton X-100 - biotin/avidin-HRP technique. The specificity of the antiserum for GABA was evaluated using a competitive inhibition ELISA. While conjugates of GABA completely eliminate labeling, a 1000 fold excess of the following conjugates could not inhibit the antiserums ability to bind GABA conjugate: glutamate, aspartate, beta alanine, tyrosine, taurine, glycine and alanine.
