2.2. Antibodies
To investigate the protein abundance and localization of both UT-B2 and MCT1, various antibodies were utilised. The widely used polyclonal antibody UT-Bc19 raised in rabbits (Walpole et al., 2014) was used to detect UT-B2 protein. A commercial polyclonal antibody raised in chickens against rat MCT1 (AB1286-I, Millipore) was also utilised. The corresponding HRP-linked secondary antibodies used for this study were anti-rabbit (656120, Biosciences Ltd.); anti-chicken (A16054, Bio-sciences Ltd.).
