Alpha-synuclein is normally an unstructured soluble protein that can aggregate to form insoluble fibrils in pathological conditions characterized by Lewy bodies, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy-bodies, and multiple system atrophy. In analogy to many other amyloid associated disorders, alpha-synuclein may also form oligomeric assemblies. These small and soluble forms have been suggested to exert a stronger tissue damaging effect as compared to the monomeric and fibrillar counterpart. Using a recently developed technique a monoclonal oligomer-specific antibody has been designed.

CD8 T cell surface antigen belongs to the type I membrane protein and it is heterodimer of an alpha and a beta chain linked by two disulfide bonds. CD8 positive T-lymphocytes are cytotoxic cells and it thought to play a role in the process of T-cell mediated killing. CD8 antibody is useful for classification of lymphocytes and malignant lymphomas.

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.
5-methylcytosine (5-mC) is formed from the DNA methylation of the 5-carbon found on the cytosine ring. A 5-methylcytosine monoclonal antibody is a useful tool in identifying and discriminating between the unmodified cytosine base (C) and the methylated cytosine base (5-mC) as part of DNA methylation studies. DNA methylation plays an important role in the repression of transcription in the genome. When present in promoter regions, 5-mC is associated with stable transcriptional silencing which results in inactivation of gene function, thereby having an important role in tumorigenesis.

The 5-HT 2C Receptor Antibody was raised against synthetic peptide sequence corresponding to amino acids 439-460 of the rat 5-HT2C receptor coupled to KLH and bovine thyroglobulin. The ImmunoStar 5-HT2C receptor antiserum was quality control tested using standard immunohistochemical methods. The antiserum demonstrates strongly positive labeling of rat choroid plexus and hippocampus using indirect immunofluorescent and biotin/avidin-HRP techniques. Recommended primary dilutions are /500 - 1/1000 in PBS - Bn/Av-HRP technique. Intensification methods such as nickel will approximately double the dilution factor as recommended. The antibody was characterized by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Western blotting revealed a single band of approximately 70 kD. Preincubation of the antibody with an excess of the synthetic peptide blocked staining. Immunohistochemical staining of rat brain correlates well with Northern analysis, in situ hybridization and receptor autoradiography. BlastP database sequence homology searches confirmed that this sequence is unique to rat, mouse and human 5-HT2C receptors.
