Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) contain melanopsin. The ipRGCs, with their amazing long processes, are involved in the perception of light and dark and are circadian rhythm determinants. Affinity-purified Anti-Melanopsin (UF008) has very high specificity to mouse ipRGCs.

Affinity-purified anti-Melanopsin (UF008) was raised against the 15 N-terminal extracellular amino acids of mouse melanopsin. This antibody does not cross-react with melanopsins of other species, it is very specific for mouse.

Applications include immunofluorescence (1 µg/ml) and targeting (targeting agent in Melanopsin-SAP, Cat. #IT-44). This antibody works in both cross-section and flat-mount staining.

Anti-Melanopsin staining on either flat-mount or cross-section staining of mouse retina. Staining of the antibody is shown in green. Blue is DAPI and tdTomato (red) signal from OPN4cre; R26Syp-tdT mouse line. Cat. #AB-N38 (neat sera) is lot #205-130 and Cat. #AB-N39 (affinity-purified) is lot #205-129.
