Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Pig retinal section stained with Rhodopsin / RHO antibody (green) and counterstained with rabbit polyclonal antibody to neurofilament RPCA-NF-M (red) and DNA (blue). Rhodopsin is most abundant in the outer segments of retina (OS), NF-M is abundant in the optic nerve fiber layer (ONFL), but seen in processes and neurons in other regions also. Other layers are pigmented epithelium (PE), outer and inner nuclear layers (ONL, INL), outer and inner plexiform layers (OPL, IPL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL).)

Western Blot (WB)
(Blot of bovine retinal extracts probed with Rhodopsin / RHO antibody. The antibody stains a band corresponding to retinal rhodopsin at about 35kDa. Bands about 70 kDa and 140 kDa are aggregated forms of rhodopsin. Note, due to the highly hydrophobic nature of rhodopsin, it is important not to boil a sample containing it in SDS-PAGE sample buffer, as this will result in more extensive aggregation of the rhodopsin protein.)

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a major cause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder. In the autosomal dominant form,which comprises about 25% of total cases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the gene encoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is the transmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visual transduction cascade. Defects in this gene are also one of the causes of congenital stationary night blindness.

Uniprot Description
Rhodopsin: a G-protein coupled receptor. The light-absorbing visual pigment in Rod photoreceptor cells. Mediates vision in dim light. Consists of the apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to cis-retinal. Defects in RHO are a cause of autosomal retinitis pigmentosa and congenital stationary night blindness.

The Mouse Monoclonal [clone A531] (IgG1,k) to Human Rhodopsin / RHO reacts with Bovine, Human, Mouse, Pig, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Rhodopsin / RHO can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC - Paraffin), Immunofluorescence (IF), Western Blot (WB). IF (1:1000), IHC (1:1000), IHC-P (10 ug/ml), WB (1:5000) Usage: Try at dilutions of ~1:1000 for immunofluorescence. For western blots try at 1:5000. A suitable control tissue is retinal extracts. Rhodopsin run at 35 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RHO rho for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Rhodopsin / RHO, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
