Total Rab 10 Antibody
Antibody
Mouse anti-Rab10 antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJF-R23). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, and immunoprecipitation and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
Mouse/Human pS129 Alpha-Synuclein Assay
Assay
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at S129 (pS129 aSyn).
Mouse/Human Total Alpha-Synuclein Assay
Assay
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse total alpha-synuclein.
Rab 10 pT73 Phosphospecific Antibody
Antibody
Mouse anti-pT73 Rab10 antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJF-R21). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
