Product DescriptionChicken anti-Parvalbumin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Application(s)IHC-Frozen, WB
Application DetailsWestern blotting (1:1,000-1:5,000) and Immunohistochemistry (1:1,000-1:5,000). Note that this antibody does not recognize parvalbumin in rat or mouse brain homogenates on western blots. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Left: Staining of parvalbumin in adult rat cerebellum floating section by Immunohistochemistry. Chicken antibody to parvalbumin (1:2,500, green) stains dendrites and perikarya of Purkinje cells and some interneurons in the molecular layer. Blue: Nuclear DNA stain. Right: Western blot analysis of parvalbumin expression in mouse skeletal muscle homogenate (Lane 1). The antibody (1:2,500) detects parvalbumin at ~12 kDa in homogenate (Lane 1) and His-tagged parvalbumin protein (Lane 2) at slightly higher molecular weight. The antibody does not cross-react with His-tagged proteins calretinin (Lane 3) and calbindin (Lane 4). Note that this antibody does not recognize parvalbumin in rat or mouse brain lysates on western blots.
Rat cerebellum section stained with chicken anti-parvalbumin (green, 1:2,000) and mouse anti-GFAP (red) by Immunohistochemistry. Blue: DAPI nuclear stain. IHC Method: Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 um, and free floating sections were stained. The parvalbumin chicken antibody labels the perikarya and dendrites of Purkinje cells and interneurons in the molecular layer of the cerebellum. The GFAP antibody stains the processes of Bergmann glia and astrocytes.
