Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GABA-AR alpha 1 Antibody (1F4) - Chimeric [NBP3-09047] - Immunofluorescence analysis of paraformaldehyde fixed U251 cells on Shi-fix(TM) coverslips stained with the chimeric rabbit IgG version of 1F4 (NBP3-09047) at 10 ug/ml for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor(R) 488 secondary antibody (2 ug/ml), showing membrane staining. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right, top-bottom NBP3-09047, DAPI, merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was an unknown specificity antibody followed by staining with Alexa Fluor(R) 488 secondary antibody.

Applications for GABA-AR alpha 1 Antibody (1F4) - Chimeric - Azide and BSA Free

Application
Recommended Usage

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

X-Ray Crystallography

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.
Application Notes
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2b format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.

FSEC: High affinity and specificity of the 1F4 antibody to alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2 GABA-A receptor was demonstrated using fluorescence-detection size exclusion chromatography with GFP-tagged receptor (shift in elution volume) (Zhu et al., 2018). Crystallography: Furthermore, this antibody was utilised in production and purification of the alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2 GABA-A receptor (Zhu et al., 2018). Finally, Fab fragments derived from the antibody were used to facilitate crystallisation and improve stabilisation of the alpha 1 beta 2 gamma 2 GABA-A receptor (Zhu et al., 2018).

Background: GABA-A R alpha 1

GABA (A) receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels that play a role as inhibitory neurotransmitters. They are known targets for certain classes of environmental and pharmaceutical compounds because a number of drugs interact with binding sites on GABA (A). Some of these drugs include benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, and anesthetics. GABA (A) Receptors are comprised of subunits and these are further classified into 3 major groups (alpha, beta, and gamma). The subunits determine the pharmacological characteristics.

Long Name

gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor, alpha-1 Polypeptide

Alternate Names

EJM, GABAAR alpha 1, GABAARa1, GABRA1
