IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY PROTOCOL FOR AB1582

STAINING OF GUINEA PIG ILEUM

1) Pin the ileum out flat and tight.

2) Fix overnight at 4°C in modified Zamboni′s (2% paraformaldehyde with 15% saturated picric acid in phosphate buffered saline).

3) Clear in DMSO, 100%, 3 times for 10 minutes each, rinse in PBS.

4) Dissect off ALL circular muscle.

5) Preincubate with 10% normal donkey serum.

6) Incubate in anti-ChAT (AB1582) diluted 1:1,000-1,2000 with 10% normal donkey serum over night at 4°C on a shaker.

7) Incubate with Donkey anti-Sheep IgG-Cy3 labeled secondary antibody (Catalog Number AP184C) at a dilution of 1:200 for 2 hours.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is essential to remove ALL circular muscle.
