Anti-Calretinin (CR) Antibody
Our Anti-Calretinin (CR) chicken polyclonal primary antibody detects bovine, human, mouse, and rat Calretinin (CR), and is IgY preparation. It is validated for use in ICC, WB.
A: Adult rat brain hippocampus section stained for calretinin (red) and MeCP2 (green) by Immunohistochemistry. The chicken anti-Calretinin antibody labels a subset of hippocampal interneurons, which also express MeCP2 (R-1810-100). Co-staining is demonstrated in the nucleus by a yellow color. B: Adult rat cortex section co-stained for calretinin (red) and calbindin (M-1797-100, green). Each antibody specifically labels a subset of interneurons (i.e., calretinin-positive or calbindin-postive) that express each marker exclusively. Insets are high-magnification images of the boxed area in each picture. Blue: Nuclear DNA stained with DAPI. IHC method: 45 um sections; tissue was fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde. C: Western blot of proteins parvalbumin (Lane 1), calretinin (Lane 2), calbindin (Lane 3) and rat brain homogenate (Lane 4) with chicken anti-calretinin antibody (1:1,000). Absence of immunreactivity with parvalbumin (Lane 1) and calbindin (Lane 3) demonstrates specificity of this antibody for calretinin (Lane 2). In rat brain, this antibody recognizes a single band at ~32 kDa, corresponding to calretinin.

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 calretinin and does not recognize closely related proteins parvalbumin and calbindin as determined by Western Blotting.
