The antibody produces moderate labeling of raphe neurons in normal rat. In rats whose serotonergic system has been activated, staining intensity is increased to a maximum label. Recommended dilution of the antiserum is 1/4000-1/8000 for biotin-streptavidin/HRP technique. The specificity of the antiserum was evaluated using a model system of gelatin-indole plugs by a method similar to published procedures (Schipper and Tilders, 1983). Results showed that the 5-HIAA antibody dose dependently stained 5-HIAA but did not stain any concentration of 5-HT or 5-HTP. The antiserum was also tested by pre-adsorption at 25 µg/mL with various BSA conjugates. While pre-adsorption with 5-HIAA conjugate completely eliminates immunolabeling, pre-adsorption with conjugates of 5-HT,5-HTP and dopamine had no effect on staining intensity or distribution of stain.Photo Description: IHC image of neurons staining for 5-H1AA in the raphe nucleus of the rat brainstem. The tissue was fixed with 4% formaldehyde in phosphate buffer, before being removed and prepared for vibratome sectioning. Floating sections were incubated at RT in 10% goat serum in PBS, before standard IHC procedure. Primary antibody was incubated at 1:5000 for 48 hours, goat anti-rabbit secondary was subsequently added for 1 hour after washing with PBS. Light microscopy staining was achieved with standard biotin-streptavidin/HRP procedure and DAB chromogen.

阿尔茨海默氏症协会称，阿尔茨海默氏症的研究抗体在帮助科学家找到解决这种疾病和其他痴呆症的方法方面发挥着重要作用，这些疾病和痴呆症影响了全世界4700万人和530万美国人，到2050年，这一数字有望增加两倍。随着婴儿潮一代的年龄增长，预计将有2800万人患上这种疾病，其费用将升至美国医疗保险总支出的近四分之一。

自从Aloysius Alzheimer博士于1906年首次描述这种疾病以来，科学家们在了解这种疾病如何影响大脑方面取得了显着进步。十多年后，理解和治疗的突破为阿尔茨海默氏病患者带来了希望。
