Cntf Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Rat CNTF (0.15 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.002-0.005 µg/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA Indirect: To detect Rat CNTF by indirect ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Rat CNTF. Sandwich: To detect Rat CNTF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Rat CNTF as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Rat CNTF. Western Blot To detect Rat CNTF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Rat CNTF is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Background	CNTF is a potent neural factor that was originally characterized as a vital factor for the survival of chick ciliary neurons in vitro. CNTF is also important for the survival of other neural cell types including primary sensory neurons, motor neurons, basal forebrain neurons and type 2 astrocytes. CNTF is highly conserved across species and exhibits cross-species bioactivity.
Synonyms	Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor
Note	Centrifuge vial prior to opening!
