Specificity

Recognizes the lower MW isoform (65kDa) of the two GAD isoforms identified in brain. This monclonal antibody can be used for immunohistochemical localization in brain or pancreas. Has been used to label purified GAD on Western blots.
Purity

Purified Purified immunoglobulin
Form

Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.4. Reconstitute with 100ul sterile 40-50% glycerol, ddH2O.
Storage_stability

Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol, ddH2O and store at -20 degree C.
