List of primary antibodies used and specification of dilution, source, and specificity

Antibodies Antigen Species Dilution Reactions Source Characterization of the primary antibody References
μ opioid receptor Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 384–398 predicted from cloned rat MOR1 Rabbit 1:20,000 a, g ImmunoStar; catalog #24216; lot #607102 Preadsorption with MOR peptide (384–398) at 10 μg/ml completely eliminates labeling. The specificity of the antiserum was determined by immunolabeling of transfected cells, Western blot analysis, and immunoisolation studies. Likhtik et al., 2008
Tyrosine hydroxylase Tyrosine hydroxylase Rabbit 1:3000 b Chemicon; catalog #AB152; lot #23060094 Immunohistochemistry: stains both fresh-frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue samples by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase. Western blot; immunoprecipitation. It does not work on paraffin-embedded, human tissue. Lode et al., 2000; Prohaska and Brokate, 2001
α3 GABAA receptor subunit Amino acidic sequence 1–11 in the N- terminal domain Rabbit 1:1500 c Kindly provided by Prof. Sieghart (Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria) Tested immunohistochemically on fixed brain tissue of both wild-type and α3 GABAA knock-out mice (kindly provided by Dr. J. M. Fritschy). Pirker et al., 2003
mGlu1α receptor Amino acidic sequence 945–1127 Guinea pig 1:500 f, g, A Kindly provided by Dr. Watanabe (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan) The antibody was tested in mouse by immunohistochemistry on fixed brain tissue. Tanaka and al., 2000; Ferraguti et al., 2004

FoxP2 Synthetic peptide conjugated to KLH derived from within residues 700 to the C terminus of Himan FOXP2 Rabbit 1:2000 d Abcam; catalog #ab16046 Nuclear localization. This antibody gave positive signal in HEK293 whole-cell lysate. It reacts with mouse and human. Not tested in other species. Campbell et al., 2009; Enard et al., 2009; Regad et al., 2009
GABA GABA–BSA Rabbit 1:7000 e Sigma-Aldrich; catalog #A2052 It shows positive binding with GABA and GABA–KLH in a dot blot assay and negative binding with BSA. Menegola et al., 2008
Neurokinin 1 receptor Synthetic peptide amino acid sequence (385–407) of the C terminus of the rat Rabbit 1:3000 h Chemicon; catalog #AB5060; lot #23030368 and #0512016863 Immuhistochemistry: preabsorbtion of the antiserum with the immunogen peptide eliminates all immunostainings. Piggins et al., 2001; Mátyás et al., 2004
Parvalbumin Rat muscle parvalbumin Rabbit 1:1000 i Swant; catalog #PV-28; lot #5.5 Western blotting (no cross-reaction was observed with any other known Ca2+ binding proteins). Immunobinding assay: the title of the serum was in range of 1:5000–1:10,000 when 1 ng of antigen was applied. Kägi et al., 1987
Parvalbumin Carp muscle parvalbumin Mouse 1:1000 l Sigma; catalog #P-3171; lot #017H4821 The immunospecificity for parvalbumin was determined by indirect immunoperoxidase staining and immunoblotting. Specific reaction with parvalbumin of culture nerve cells and tissue originating from human, monkey, rat, mouse, chicken, and fish. McDonald and Betette, 2001; Tanahira et al., 2009
Calbindin Rat calbindin D-28k Rabbit 1:10,000 m Swant; catalog #CB-38a; lot #9.03 In immunoblots it recognizes a single band of ∼ 28 kDa. Antiserum CB38 immunolabels a subpopulation of neurons in the normal brain with high efficiency but does not stain the brain of calbindin D-28 knock-out mice. Airaksinen et al., 1997
anti-GFP Raised against GFP isolated from Aequorea victoria Rabbit 1:1000 n Invitrogen; catalog #A11122 IgG fraction purified by ion-exchange chromatography. It is useful for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting. Ausubel et al., 1992; Conn, 1999
Egr-1/Zif268 Raised against a peptide mapping at the C terminus of Egr-1 of human origin Rabbit 1:5000 o Santa Cruz Biotechnology; catalog #sc-189 It is useful for detection of Egr-1 p82 of mouse, rat, and human origin by Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and solid-phase ELISA. Hefner et al., 2008; Whittle et al., 2009
