Morphine is thought to produce reinforcement phenomena via stimulation of mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors that regulate stress perception, pain control, reward behavior, and neurohormone secretion in reward-relevant brain systems. It has the highest affinity for mu, followed by delta and kappa. Rapid activation of the mu opioid receptor by morphine results in a euphoric phenotype, thus conferring the reinforcing effects of the drug. This activation is accompanied by extracellular dopamine release, which alters several events related to the cAMP signal transduction pathway. Of particular significance is that CREB seems to be modified by morphine, thereby affecting addictive behavioral phenomena, such as withdrawal symptoms. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
