Application DetailsA dilution of 5-10 µg/mL is recommended for immunohistochemistry using formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues and for 4% paraformaldehyde fixed frozen tissues. A dilution of 5-15 µg/mL is recommended for immunofluorescence. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundThe hormone Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is produced by cardiomyocites and is secreted into the bloodstream. ANP acts on convoluted tubules in kidney reducing sodium absorption which results in reducing the blood pressure.
Immunohistochemical staining in convoluted tubules in rat kidney. 4% paraformaldehyde fixed rat kidney crystostat sections (10 µm) were incubated overnight at 4°C with Rabbit polyclonal antibody to rat Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (10 µg/mL) followed by incubation with donkey anti-rabbit Rhodamine Red conjugated secondary antibody (1:200).
