This monoclonal antibody is suitable for ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Expect a band approximately 106 kDa in size corresponding to TRPC6 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Use formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections for immunohistochemistry. No pre-treatment of sample is required. Strong staining was observed in adrenal, Purkinje neurons, cortical neurons, heart, ganglion cells, renal tubules, Sertoli cells, hepatocytes, skeletal muscle, exocrine pancreas, and germinal centers of lymphoid follicles. Moderate staining was observed in colon epithelium and plasma cells, B-lymphocytes, and parafollicular cells of the thyroid. Faint staining was seen in respiratory epithelium. Prostate and placenta were negative for staining. The antibody produced minimal to no background staining and appeared very specific at 2.5 µg/mL.
