CNTF Antibody (biotin)

Chemokines & Cytokines, Antibody Pairs

ELISA:

Sandwich: To detect hCNTF by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μ L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μ g/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our Polyclonal Anti-Human CNTF (XP-5115) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hCNTF.

Western Blot:
To detect hCNTF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μ g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hCNTF is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Polyclonal

CNTF antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8˚ C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

CNTF

Homo sapiens

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is expressed in glial cells within the central and peripheral nervous systems. CNTF stimulates gene expression, cell survival or differentiation in a variety of neuronal cell types such as sensory, sympathetic, ciliary and motor neurons. CNTF itself lacks a classical signal peptide sequence of a secreted protein, but is thought to convey its cytoprotective effects after release from adult glial cells by some mechanism induced by injury.
