Complexin-I protein density is determined by immunoassay in the Honer Lab at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver BC, Canada). Monoclonal antibody SP33 is used to quantify complexin-I immunodensities from frozen samples of gray matter in 6 cortical regions:
Values are expressed in log10 units, the mean is determined for each participant across the 6 brain regions, and a z-score is calculated across all participants. Since reported values are inversely proportional to protein levels, scores are multiplied by negative 1 to make results directly related to the amount of target antigen. Higher values indicate greater complexin-I protein concentrations.
