Correlation loadings for the plot of the response variable (parasitism rate, Y) and predictor variables across four spatial scales based on PLS analysis.

<p>Radius: (a) 0.5 km; (b) 1.0 km; (c) 1.5 km; (d) 2.0 km. The four dotted line circles (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) indicate the percentage range of variation explained by the first two factors. The distance of marked points from the origin and from the horizontal and vertical axes jointly show the amount of variation in each variable accounted for by the first two factors.</p

Generation and Application of a Novel InsP₃R₁ Mono-Antibody from Mouse

<div><p>Inositol 1, 4, 5-Trisphosphate Receptor (InsP₃R) is an intracellular Ca²⁺ release channel, which widely participates in cellular processes. Three isoforms of InsP₃R were identified as InsP₃R₁, InsP₃R_2, and InsP₃R₃. They share 60–0% protein sequence homology and form a channel in a manner of homotetramer or heterotetramer. Several InsP₃R isoform-specific rabbit antibodies have been generated to distinguish their localization and functions. However, there is no report of such a valid antibody raised from other species. In his article, we prepare a mouse monoclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide with rat InsP₃R₁-specific carboxyl terminus sequence. This monoclonal antibody of InsP₃R₁ (R1-mAb) was purified and characterized as IgG2b, which can recognize InsP₃R₁ by Western-blot (WB) analysis and immunoprecipitate (IP) InsP₃R₁ from moue brain lysate tested. Applied in immunofluorescent (IF) and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays, this antibody and rabbit polyclonal antibody could give the consistent results in SH-SY5Y cells, human sperm, and mouse brain paraffin section. In summary, we generate a mouse InsP₃R₁-specific IgG 2b antibody identifying InsP₃R₁ in WB, IF, IHC, and IP analysis, which provides a possible choice for detection of InsP₃R₁, especially in application of co-localization analysis with other InsP₃R isoforms or other proteins. </p></div
