Background
OPN1SW, also known as short-wave-sensitive opsin 1 or blue-sensitive opsin, is a protein encoded by the OPN1SW gene in humans. This protein is a type of opsin pigment found in the photoreceptor cells of the retina and is crucial for normal color vision, specifically mediating the perception of blue light. It is a G-protein coupled receptor that initiates the visual transduction cascade by converting light into electrochemical signals. The OPN1SW gene is located on chromosome 7q32.1 and is conserved across several species. Defects in this gene can lead to tritan color blindness, a condition where individuals have impaired blue-yellow color vision.

Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human retina. Anti-OPN1SW antibody was used at 1/500 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Immunofluorescence
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human retina. Anti- OPN1SW antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
