Description

The antibody has a proven strong indirect immunofluorescence at 1/400 - 1/800 and biotin-streptavidin/HRP staining at a 1/2000 - 1/4000 dilution in rat brainstem, cerebellum and adrenal medulla.

The above image is of DBH positive neurons in rat brainstem, vibratome sectioned, ABC / DAB detection.

Using Western blot of purified DBH the antiserum detects a triplet at approximately 72-74 kD. Optimal dilution will vary depending upon fixation, labeling technique and/or detection system; therefore, a dilution series is recommended.

Antibody Worked Very Well

We tried the rabbit anti-dopamine-beta-hydroxylase antibody in ferret tissues, more specifically on brainstem tissues. Ferrets were perfused with saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde and postfixed for 12 hours.

We used 1:500 dilution of DBH antibody and stained with Alexa 594 as a secondary antibody. The citation of the antibody has been published in the following article:

Detected small fibers with very little background

Animals were briefly anesthetized with pentobarbital (200mg/kg) followed by transcardial perfusion with 200 ml heparinized saline and 500 ml Zamboni fixative. Brains were then removed and stored in 30% sucrose until further processing.

IHC

Brains were frozen and cut at 50 µm thick sections using a cryostat.

Free-floating sections were first washed with PBS and then pretreated with a solution of 50% methanol, 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS for 1 hour.

Blocking Solution: 1% triton-X 100, 2% fetal bovine serum in .1 M PBS for at least 1 hour at room temperature.

Dilutent for primary and secondary antibodies: 0.5% triton-X 100, 2% fetal bovine serum in .1 M PBS at

Primary dilution 1:5000 overnight at 4°C
Secondary Alexa 488 (Life Technologies) 1:500 in dilutent for 1 hour

Sections were washed thoroughly in .1 M PBS following detection, coverslipped and mounted with Vectashield mounting medium (Vector Labs)

This antibody detected small fibers within the cortex, central amygdala and various nuclei of the thalamus and hypothalamus with very little background.

Note: The time which animals spend under anesthesia will affect the level of expression in the thalamus/hypothalamus regions.
