Striatum showing positivity for Ankyrin G in the initial segment of axons: enables concentration of voltage-gated sodium channels for the initialisation of the action potential.
I have no idea why there is a moderate neuropil positivity…is it non-specific?
This antibody is no longer available because Santa Cruz haveĀ had their rabbit/goat polyclonal antibody production licence revoked.
On a tangent, their AbsĀ were termed “Santa Crap” for many years….unfairly, imho but, their early days marketing appeared to be more money-driven than is expected from any commercial/scientific organisation…. little did I know how badly, allegedly, they were treating their animals
I add the image as an example of Ankyrin G- positivity.
