Glutamate

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Recognizes Glutamate (L-Glutamate). Calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity and proper affinity. No measurable crossreactivity (<1:1000) against glutamate in peptides or proteins. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue crossreactivity (<1:1000) against L-alanine, gamma-aminobutyrate, 1-amino-4-guanidobutane (AGB), D/L-arganine, D/L-aspartate, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/Lglutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, taurine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine. Crossreactivity: D-glutamate, 1;20; free NAAG in competition assays (NAAG is not retained in glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue), 1:8.
