SpecificityA cross reactivity of less than 0.1% to mouse NGF, recombinant human BDNF and NT4/5 has been shown by dot blot. This antiserum is known to react with rat, chicken and human NT3.
Species ReactivityChicken, Human, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (YAEHKSHRGEY) as part of human (aa: 139-149), mouse and rat NT3 protein conjugated to BSA has been used as the immunogen.
Application DetailsIHC, ELISA, WB, inhibition of biological activity. A concentration of 1-10 µg/mL is recommended for IHC, ELISA, WB and inhibition of biological activity in vitro; 2-10 µg/mL (ED50) for in vivo use. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 500 µL sterile-filtered 1X PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. 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. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability.
Batch NumberPlease see item label.
Expiration Date12 months after date of receipt (unopened vial).
