Is there a good Insulin Rβ antibody for use in rat brain IHC?

15 January 2019 0 3K Report

Hi,

I am looking for a reliable antibody to label Insulin Rβ in the rat brain using IHC with fluorescent secondaries. I know that the discontinued Santa Cruz ab has been stated to be the best but i'm struggling to find good examples of a replacement which i can use on perfusion fixed slices of rat brain. Any recommendations?

Thanks!
