Scientific Data Images for Human CGRP Antibody

Detection of Human CGRP by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of TT human medullary thyroid cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human CGRP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11293) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for CGRP at approximately ~9 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of CGRP in Pancreas.

CGRP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Pancreas using Mouse Anti-Human CGRP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11293) at 2 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to islet cells. View our protocol for IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents.

Detection of CGRP in TT (Positive) & THP-1 (Negative).

CGRP was detected in immersion fixed TT human medullary thyroid cancer cell line (Positive) & absent in THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (Negative) using Mouse Anti-Human CGRP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11293) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to Cell surface and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: CGRP1

Calcitonin gene-related peptide or CGRP is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide formed by alternative splicing of the calcitonin/CGRP gene. CGRP is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2 (intermedin) and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide. CGRP is produced in both peripheral and central neurons and induces vasodilation of a variety of vessels including the coronary, cerebral and systemic vasculature. Its abundance in the CNS also points toward a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role.
