Reconstitution InstructionsStore antibody stock solution at +4°C upon receipt. DO NOT FREEZE. This product is an (NH4)2SO4 precipitate. To use, mix well by pipetting or vortexing gently prior use, then withdraw the desired amount of antibody stock solution and dilute into your antibody dilution buffer and use normally. Alternatively, material can be centrifuged at 10K x g for 5 minutes and the liquid sulfate solution carefully removed. Then precipitated antibody can be resuspended in 0.1M P, 250mM NaCL, pH 7.4 solution. The solution should then be divided into working aliquots and stored at -80°C until used. Prevent multiple freeze thaw cycles of aliquots for best product life.
Storage InstructionsStore antibody stock solution at 2-8°C upon receipt. DO NOT FREEZE. This product is an (NH4)2SO4 precipitate. See reconstitution instructions for more information.
Batch NumberPlease see item label.
Expiration Date12 months after date of receipt (unopened vial).
Scientific BackgroundMANF is a trophic factor for midbrain dopamine neurons in vivo. It prevents the 6-OHDA- induced degeneration of dopamine neurons in rodent models of Parkinson's disease (Lindholm et al., 2008, Voutilainen et al., 2009). When administered after 6-OHDA-lesioning it restores the dopaminergic function and prevents degeneration of dopamine neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta.
