NGFR antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3025048

Product Details anti-NGFR Antibody

Target: NGFR (Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR))

Reactivity: Human, Rabbit, Cat, Ferret, Monkey, Baboon

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This NGFR antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

No Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Characteristics: It recognizes a glycoprotein of 75 kDa, identified as low affinity Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Receptor (p75NGFR) or Neurotrophin Receptor (p75NTR). Its epitope spans in aa 1-160 of extracellular domain of NGFR/NTR. NGF-receptor contains an extracellular domain containing four 40-amino acid repeats with 6 cysteine residues at conserved positions followed by a serine/threonine-rich region, a single transmembrane domain, and a 155-amino acid cytoplasmic domain. The cysteine-rich region contains the nerve growth factor binding domain. NGF is important for the development, differentiation, and survival of variety of neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Its action is mediated by binding two distinct receptors, the high affinity p140 and low affinity p75.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: NGFR from A875 melanoma cells was used as the immunogen for the p75NTR antibody.

Clone: NGFR5

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal dilution of the p75NTR antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10  mM Citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. Prediluted IHC only format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Liquid

Buffer: Prediluted in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/mL BSA (US sourced) and 0.05 % sodium azide, *For IHC use only*

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: Store the p75NTR antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
