This antibody was raised against a crude synaptic preparation of post mortem human brain. SP10 reacts with native, denatured and recombinant synaptic vesicle proteins synaptobrevin/VAMP-1 (aa 1-118) and VAMP-2 expressed in a bacterial system (aa 33-96). The antibody is particularly valuable for immunocytochemical studies of the brain due to its stability in formalin sections.
Uses
This antibody is effective in immunoblotting, ELISA and immunocytochemistry.
