Storage and Rehydration: Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O (see product specification sheet) and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.Extended Storage after Rehydration: Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.
Buffer: 0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6 Stabilizer:15 mg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin (IgG-Free, Protease-Free) Preservative:0.05% Sodium Azide Suggested Working Concentration or Dilution Range:Western Blot:- 0.5-2 µg / mlHisto-/Cyto-Chemistry:- 0.5-2 µg / mlDilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
ConjugateCy5 conjugates are excited maximally at 650 nm and fluoresce maximally at 670 nm. They can be excited to about 98% of maximum with a krypton/argon laser (647 nm line) or to about 63% of maximum with a helium/neon laser (633 nm line). Cy5 can be used with a variety of other fluorophores for multiple labeling due to a wide separation of its emission from that of shorter wavelength-emitting fluorophores. However, we recommend Alexa Fluor® 647 as the preferred far-red-fluorescing dye because it is brighter than Cy5 in aqueous mounting media. The reverse is true when mounting in non-polar, plastic mounting media, i.e. Cy5 is brighter than other far-red-fluorescing dyes, including Alexa Fluor® 647 and DyLight 650.

Vascular-associated astrocytes in the young adult rat retina
Tissue specimen of 3 month old (young adult) Wistar rat retina illustrates vascular-associated astrocytes in the mid-peripheral retina. Triple label immunohistochemistry was executed on retinal wholemount preparations. GFAP stained for astrocytes (red, Cy3-conjugated mouse monoclonal anti-GFAP), GS Isolectin B4 stained for blood vessels (blue, Cy5-conjugated streptavidin - Jackson ImmunoResearch 016-170-084), and S-100 stained for cell soma region of astrocytes (green, Alexa 488-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG).
