Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: Calretinin Antibody (3G9) [NBP2-50042]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: Calretinin Antibody (3G9) [NBP2-50042] - Analysis of rat cerebellum section stained with mouse mAb to calretinin, NBP2-50042, dilution 1:500 in green, and costained with chicken pAb to calbindin, dilution 1:2,000 in red. Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45uM, and free-floating sections were stained with the above antibodies. The calretinin antibody labels interneurons in the granule cell layer, while the calbindin antibody stains Purkinje neurons and their dendritic processes in the molecular layer of the cerebellum.

Background: Calretinin

Calretinin (CAB29, calbindin 2) is a calcium binding protein that belongs to calbindin family. It is mainly found in neuronal tissue, high expressed in auditory neurons. It has been implicated in as a calcium buffer, calcium sensor, and as a regulator of apoptosis (1). Calretinin is considered as a specific marker of mesothelllal cells; it is the only marker that has the utility in distinguishing between sarcomatoid mesotheliomas and sarcomatoid renal cell carcinomas (2). It is widely used in the panel of makers for distinguishing mesothlioma from adenocarcinoma. Along with calretinin, the panel includes E-cadherin, CEA, and cytokeratin 5/6 (3).
