IHC staining of purified anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase antibody (clone 2/40/15) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse (A) and (B) rat brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissues were incubated with 1 µg/ml of the primary antibody for 60 minutes at room temperature. BioLegend´s Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The images were captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Western blot of purified anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase antibody (clone 2/40/15). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 30 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 3: 30 µg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 1 µg/mL of the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.
Tyrosine hydroxylase, also known as tyrosine 3-monooxygenase, is the enzyme that converts amino acid L-Tyrosine to L-3, 4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). L-DOPA is a precursor to dopamine, which is then converted to norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline). Dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine are all important neurotransmitters. Alterations in the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase may be involved in a number of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and schizophrenia.
This monoclonal antibody was raised against purified Tyrosine Hydroxylase from rat Pheochromocytoma tumor.
Formulation
Phosphate-buffered solution.
Preparation
The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration
1.0 mg/ml
Storage & Handling
This antibody should be handled aseptically as it is free of preservatives such as Sodium Azide. Store this antibody undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. Please note the storage condition for this antibody has been changed from -20°C to between 2°C and 8°C. You can also check the vial label or CoA to find the proper storage conditions.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 0.5 - 1.0 µg/ml is suggested. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 10.0 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes
This antibody is effective in immunoblotting (WB) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining (IHC-P).
This antibody is less reactive in human tissue in Western Blot.
