Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis of TT using 68774-1-Ig

  TT cells were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 68774-1-Ig (CALCA/CGRP antibody) at dilution of 1:5000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours.

• 

  IHC staining of human thyroid cancer using 68774-1-Ig

  Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human thyroid cancer tissue slide using 68774-1-Ig (CALCA/CGRP antibody) at dilution of 1:1000 (under 10x lens). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0).

Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: TT cells
• Positive IHC detected in: human thyroid cancer tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:2000-1:10000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:500-1:2000

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide, which is primarily localized to C and Aδ sensory fibers. These fibers display a wide innervation throughout the body, with extensive perivascular localization, and have a dual role in sensory (nociceptive) and efferent (effector) function. Discovered 30 years ago, it is produced as a consequence of alternative RNA processing of the calcitonin gene. CGRP has two major forms (α and β).
