ANTI-BRAIN DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR ANTIBODY (C005B-239568)

Specificity

Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Neutralizes BDNF, but not other neurotrophins. By one site ELISA, less than 1% cross-reactivity against mouse NGF, recombinant human NT3 or neurotrophin 4.

The antibody was tested on human and rat derived samples, but based on sequence similarity it is expected to react with mouse and other mammalian species. The peptide sequences of human, rat and mouse BDNF are identical.

Immunogen

Recombinant Human Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).

Application

Anti-Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Antibody is an antibody against Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor for use in ELISA, WB, IH.

Immunohistochemistry: 1:200-1:2,000 (see suggested protocol).

Immunoblotting: 1:200-1:2,000 we recommend preparing the BDNF samples for western blot by the method of Semba-Katoh, R et.al (J. Neurochemistry 69(1):34-42, 1997) because BDNF is not easily extracted in standard buffers. Dissected tissues should be homogenized in 10 volumes of 100mM phosphate buffer containing 1mM EDTA, 2M guanidine hydrochloride (pH 7.2), and three protease inhibitors, 10mM N-ethylmaleimide, 0.36mM pepstatin, and 1mM PMSF. Homogenates are then sonicated and centrifuged at 46K x g for 30 minutes at 4°C.

ELISA: 1:200-1:2,000

Inhibition of biological activity in vitro: 1:10-1:50

Use neat for in vivo animal studies.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Sheep serum. Lyophilized, no preservatives. Reconstitute with 100 μL of sterile distilled water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20 to -70°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20 to -70°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (ACS grade or better) can be added (1:1) for additional stability.
