Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Goat Immunogen E. coli-Derived Recombinant Human CNTF Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Formulation This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.4 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present. State of Matter Lyophilized Storage and Handling The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2829866 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human CNTF this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for rhCNTF is approximately 5 ng/lane and 20 ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions, respectively. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. Additional Applications Reported In Literature ? Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human CNTF bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human CNTF (at 400 ng/ml) is 3 - 8 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity Rabbit Anti-Human Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) recognizes Human CNTF. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research. Background Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a cytokine1 that supports survival and/or differentiation of a variety of neuronal cell types including sensory, sympathetic, and motoneurons.2 With these abilities, CNTF has implications for Parkinson's disease and cell-replacement therapies for other disorders.3 CNTF mimics the biological actions of leptin while overcoming "leptin resistance" and appears to reduce inflammatory signaling cascades associated with lipid accumulation in liver and skeletal muscle. The advantages and disadvantages of CNTF has shown promise as a therapeutic strategy to alleviate obesity-associated diseases.4 PubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1.
