Rab 10 pT73 Phosphospecific 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.
-
BAC-Alpha Synuclein 120*
Mice conditionally express mutant human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene that produces a C-terminal truncated protein. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028808
-
BAC-Alpha Synuclein*
Mice conditionally express wild-type human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028806

Mouse/Human Total Alpha-Synuclein Assay*
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse total alpha-synuclein.
-
Mouse/Human pS129 Alpha-Synuclein Assay*
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at S129 (pS129 aSyn).
-
Alpha-Synuclein Antibody
Mouse anti-alpha-synuclein antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJFR1). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
-
Total Rab 10 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.
-
Alpha-Synuclein Preformed Fibril Protein*
Aggregated alpha-synuclein protein intended for use in synuclein seeding experiments.
