Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Application Notes
Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry.
Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 1:2000
No staining is evident when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5mg/ml of alpha MSH. Cells are stained when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5mg/ml of beta MSH or 0.5mg/ml of gamma MSH.
Optimal dilution determined by the researcher.

Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to the antigenic region within the human alpha MSH residue. Conjugated to carrier protein.
Positive Control
Sheep brain (hypothalamus).
Preparation and Storage
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degree C. Reconstitute with sterile 40-50% glycerol, ddH2O.

Related Product Information for anti-MSH alpha antibody
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of the melanocortin peptides alpha, beta and gamma. POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus function as key central regulators of food intake and homeostatic control of energy balance in both rodents and non-human primates. MSH increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing the melanin production in melanocytes. MSH is produced in the pituitary gland and belongs to the POMC family.

Product Notes
The MSH alpha (Catalog #AAA619008) is an Antibody produced from Guinea pig and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MSH alpha (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone alpha) reacts with Human, Sheep and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MSH alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 1:2000 No staining is evident when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5mg/ml of alpha MSH. Cells are stained when the primary antibody is pre-absorbed with 0.5mg/ml of beta MSH or 0.5mg/ml of gamma MSH. Optimal dilution determined by the researcher. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MSH alpha 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 "MSH alpha, Polyclonal 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
