Article Synopsis
- Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor-1 (VPAC1) in lymphocytes influences various functions like movement, growth, and death of cells, but the relationship between its mRNA and protein levels during T cell activation is not fully understood.
- Researchers created a specific antibody for mouse VPAC1 to study its protein levels using flow cytometry, after noting a gap in available reagents.
- The newly developed rabbit α-mouse VPAC1 antibody was tested and shown to be specific to mouse VPAC1, allowing for the detection of VPAC1 protein in resting mouse T cells, which decreases upon activation, confirming previous studies on VPAC1 mRNA expression.
