Hi Geoff,

my message was capable of being misunderstood. Sorry for that. I have an
antibody against my protein of interest (rabbit-anti-KCC2; KCC2 - a
potassium-chloride-cotransporter). I need a plasma membrane marker to do
co-stainings with anti-KCC2. So, the antibody against the marker protein
shouldn´t be a rabbit-ab.
