Monoclonal Anti-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (α₁, α₃, α₅ Subunits) antibody produced in rat

Binds to the main immunogenic region on the extracellular surface of the α₁ subunit of muscle AChR′s and to homologous regions on α₃ and α₅ subunits of neuronal AChR′s. The epitope is located on the extracellular surface of the α₁ subunit of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The antibody binds to denatured chick α₅ AChR, but does not bind well to denatured α₃, α₄, α₇, α_8, and β₂. It may also bind β₃ due to homology of main immunogenic region. May be used to localize and detect the α₁, α₃ and α₅ subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR).

nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from the electric eel Electrophorus.

Solution in 20 mM Na₃PO₄, pH 7.2, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.05 % sodium azide.
