doi: 10.1292/jvms.21-0429
Figure Lengend Snippet: Subtypes of the α 2 adrenergic receptors detected in dorsal root ganglia. A. The real-time PCR amplification curves are shown in the left panel. A threshold was set for 3, and the Ct values of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and α 2 receptors were obtained. The ΔCt values of α 2A (n=8), α 2B (n=8) and α 2C (n=8) receptors against GAPDH were calculated and are shown in the right panel. The columns represent the mean ± the standard error of the mean. B, C. Images of the immunoreactivities of TRPV1, α 2A and α 2C receptors in rat dorsal root ganglia. The TRPV1-, α 2A receptor- and α 2C receptor-like immunoreactivities were visualized by 3,3′-diaminobenzidine. Arrows, positively stained small-sized neurons; arrowheads, positively stained medium-sized neurons.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, the sections were incubated with a guinea pig anti-TRPV1 antibody (Merck Millipore corporation, Temecula, CA, USA, Cat# AB5566, Lot# 3135959) diluted to 1:50, a rabbit anti-α 2A antibody (Cusabio Technology, Houston, TX, USA, Cat# CSB-PA007424, Lot# G1229Y) diluted to 1:100 or a rabbit anti-α 2C antibody (Cusabio Technology, Cat# CSB-PA000916, Lot# G1229Y) diluted to 1:100 overnight at 4°C.
