Antibody imprint: This antibody was used to investigate the structure of rhodopsin's meta-states; the researchers employed the antibody imprint technique to analyse conformational changes which this molecule undergoes upon activation by light (Bailey et al., 2003). Another group used K42-41L antibody to demonstrate that it is capable of discriminating between metarhodopsins I and II, and that it stabilises metarhodopsin I while inhibiting metarhodopsin II; these data suggest that this antibody might be useful in the structural studies of opsins (Piscitelli et al., 2006). EM ICC: K42-41L antibody was utilised to stain different structures of Xenopus laevis retinas in EM immunocytochemistry LR white samples in a study investigating opsin localisation (Besharse and Wetzel, 1995).
