Anti-Human β-NGF

This antibody stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas adenocarcinoma.  The recommended concentration is 2.5 µg/mL with an overnight incubation at 4˚C.  An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen.  Heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 9.0 buffer is recommended.  See photo(s).  Optimal concentrations and conditions may vary.

To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND₅₀] of the biological activity of Human β-NGF (10.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 2.7 - 4.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required.

In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100µl/well), a concentration of 2.0-4.0 µg/ml of this antibody will detect at least 200 pg/ml of recombinant Human β-NGF when used with BioGems' biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-Human β-NGF (60-247BT) as the detection antibody at a concentration of approximately 0.5-1.0 µg/ml.

To detect Human β-NGF by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 4.0-8.0 µg/ml. When used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, the detection limit for recombinant Human β-NGF is 4.0-8.0 ng/lane, under reducing or non-reducing conditions.
