Anti-Calbindin Antibody
Our Anti-Calbindin chicken polyclonal primary antibody detects bovine, human, mouse, and rat Calbindin, and is IgY preparation. It is validated for use in IHC-Frozen, WB.
Left and Middle: Detection of calbindin-immunoreactivity (red) in adult rat brain cortex (Left) and striatum (Middle) by Immunohistochemistry. The calbindin antibody (1:1,000) labels a subset of sparsely-distributed interneurons (calbindin-positive interneurons) in the cortex (Left), and more densely-distributed neurons in the striatum (Middle). Since neurons also express Fox3/NeuN (M-377-100, green), calbindin-positive cells appear yellow. Insets are high magnification images of boxed area of each image. Blue: DAPI nuclear stain. IHC method: 45 um sections, fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde. Right: Western blot analysis of calbindin expression in rat brain homogenate (Lane 1). The antibody (1:5,000) detects one single band at ~30 kDa. Specificity for calbindin is shown by probing related His-tagged calcium-binding proteins (Lane 2: Parvalbumin; Lane 3: Calretinin; Lane 4: Calbindin; 0.5 ug protein per lane). One additional band at ~60 kDa (Lane 4) most likely represents calbindin protein dimer.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute with 50 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8°C. After reconstitution divide into aliquots and store at -20°C for long-term storage. Store at 2-8°C short-term (up to 4 weeks) with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
Lyophilized
Lyophilized IgY preparation, with sodium azide.
WB: 1:1000-1:5000
IHC: 1:1000-1:5000
IHC: 1:1000-1:5000
Unconjugated
Reacts with human, cow, rat, mouse. Antibody is specific for calbindin and does not recognize closely related proteins parvalbumin and calretinin as determined by Western Blotting.
