Immunogen: Histamine conjugated to HSA
Concentration: n/a
Storage buffer: Lyophilized; reconstitute in 100 µl dist. water
Additional info: Histamine is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system as well as a mast cell constituent. In addition, histamine is produced by endocrine cells (ECL-cells) in the oxynthic mucosa of the stomach. Absorption with 10-100 ug histamine per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining, while noradrenaline, 5-HT, VIP, glucagon and histidine do not.Positive control: cryostat sections of carbodiimide fixed human skin or freeze-dried paraffin-sections (vapor fixed in diethylpyrocarbonate; DEPC) of rat stomach.
