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 dilution of 1:500 to 1:2000 is recommended for IHC, western blot. For inhibition of biological activity: 1:10-50 for in vitro, 5-10 µL/g body weight for in vivo. 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.
