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, 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.
