Suitable for immunoblotting (western or dot blot), ELISA, immunofluorescence microscopy, immunoprecipitation, conjugation and most immunological methods requiring high titer and specificity. The antibody recognizes both frozen tissue sections, paraffin embedded tissue and 4% paraformaldehyde fixed tissue for most immunohistochemical analysis. A 1:1,500 dilution has been reported to detect beta-galactosidase in adult rat spinal cord tissue after infection with helper-dependent adenovirus expressing lacZ. In this particular experiment, tissue was perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde and cryostat-cut (35 µm) to produce free-floating sections.
