Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membranes.

Immunohistochemistry on rat brain sections.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Recognizes a full length Kir3.2 (GIRK2, G-protein Activated Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel 2). Does not cross react with any other potassium channel antigens tested so far.

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles

Control
CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 120 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot use 20 ng of protein per minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
