More and More OR Pubs

Potent, Proven and Frequently Published

Many labs have used our Opioid Receptor antibodies over the past 10+ years. We are grateful for the many publications and testimonals referencing successful use of these antibodies.

Figure: MOR in primary sensory neuron and its terminals were decreased in neuropathic mice. (A, B) Western blot shows that MOR protein were markedly decreased in sciatic nerve (A) and hindpaw skin (B) on day 7 after nerve injury when compared with sham-operated mice. The ratio of MOR/GAPDH in sham mice was set at 1 for quantifications. Zhou et al. Molecular Pain 2014, 10:51 http://www.molecularpain.com/content/10/1/51

Images: Images: Confocal images showing the effect of RTX on mu opioid receptor and TRPV1 immunoreactive DRG neurons and afferent terminals in the spinal cord. A: representative confocal images showing mu opioid receptor (green) and TRPV1 (red) immunoreactivities in DRG neurons of one vehicle- and one RTX-treated rat. Scale bar, 40 um. B: confocal images showing mu opioid receptor (green) and TRPV1 (red) immunoreactivities in afferent terminals in the spinal dorsal horn of 1 vehicle- and 1 RTX-treated rat. Scale bar, 80 um. Inset: high-magnification images (scale bar = 5 um) showing co-localization of mu opioid receptor and TRPV1 immunoreactivity in the lamina I. Co-localization of the mu opioid receptor and TRPV1 immunoreactivity is indicated in yellow when 2 images are digitally merged. All images are single confocal optical sections.

Prodynorphin at Work

We would like to Dr. Andrew Todd for sharing this excellent IHC image using our Guinea Pig ProDynorphin (rat) antibody.

Image: Staining of adult rat spinal cord.

The tissue is perfusion-fixed (4% freshly prepared formaldehyde) adult rat spinal cord, reacted overnight with the PPD at 1:1000 and then o/n in Alexa488 secondary (raised in donkey, Invitrogen, 1:500).

The confocal image stack was taken through a 60x oil lens (Bio-Rad Radiance confocal) - pixel size is 0.196 micrometre and this is a projection of 10 confocal optical sections at 0.5 micrometre z-spacing.
