Alternative NamesBeta-nerve growth factor; Beta-NGF; NGF; NGFB;
Application(s)ELISA, IHC-Frozen, WB
Antibody HostGoat
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificityA cross reactivity of less than 1% to recombinant human BDNF, NT3, NT4/5 by ELISA has been shown. This antiserum is known to cross react with mouse, rat, human and avian NGF but not bovine NGF. Other species have not yet been tested.
Species ReactivityAvian, Human, Mouse, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionNative mouse beta NGF purified from submaxillary salivary gland (95% purity by PAGE)
Application DetailsIHC, WB and direct ELISA. A dilution range of 1:1000 - 1:5000 is recommended for IHC and WB. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage InstructionsAfter reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
Batch NumberPlease see item label.
Expiration Date12 months after date of receipt (unopened vial).

Scientific BackgroundFUNCTION: Nerve growth factor is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. It stimulates division and differentiation of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurons. SUBUNIT: Homodimer, associated by noncovalent forces. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
