BDNF Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

BDNF Antibody, PA1-18371, from Invitrogen. Species Reactivity: Human, Rat; Applications: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, Western Blot.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. BDNF promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability.

PA1-18371 detects BDNF from human and rat samples. PA1-18371 has been successfully used in immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and Western blot procedures. The PA1-18371 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues H(131) S D P A R R G E L(140) of mouse BDNF, conjugated to KLH. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20ºC for a higher stability, and at 4ºC with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. Reconstitute with 100 ul of distilled water.
