Power Trio of Pain Research Antibodies

I received a call from a customer asking if there were any publications referencing our rabbit Alpha 2a Adrenergic Receptor antibody. The resulting search found an article referencing excellent results using a trio of of our pain research antibodies. The research was conducted by our friend, Dr. Hui-Lin Pan and his team at University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Images: Double immunofluorescence labeling showing α2C-AR- and TRPV1-immmunoreactivity in the spinal cord dorsal horn of one vehicle-treated and one RTX-treated rat. Representative confocal images showing α2C-AR- and VR1 C-terminus (TRPV1)-immunoreactivities in the spinal dorsal horn of one vehicle- and one RTX-treated rat. All images are single confocal optical sections. Scale bar, 100 μm. Inset: high-magnification images (scale bar = 10 μm) showing the distribution of α2C-AR- and TRPV1-immunoreactivity in the lamina I and II. Neuropharmacology. 2007 June; 52(8): 1624–1630.

Rabbit VR1 N-Terminus (TRPV1) is also referenced.
