This Anti-p75 Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor Antibody, Saporin conjugated, clone 192 is validated for use in ICC, IHC(P), FUNC for the detection of p75 Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor.

Recognizes the rat NGF receptor (p75, low affinity Neurotrophin Receptor). MAB365 is the monoclonal antibody used for MAB390-SAP.

The Low Affinity Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (also called the LNGFR or p75 neurotrophin receptor) is one of the two receptor types for the neurotrophins, a family of protein growth factors which stimulate neuronal cells to survive and differentiate. The neurotrophins are comprised of four proteins, all of which bind to the LNGFR: Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4. Nerve growth factor, the prototypical growth factor, is a protein secreted by a neuron′s target. NGF is critical for the survival and maintenance of sympathetic and sensory neurons. NGF is released from the target cells, binds to and activates its high affinity receptor (TrkA), and is internalized into the responsive neuron. The NGF/TrkA complex is subsequently trafficked back to the cell body. This movement of NGF from axon tip to soma is thought to be involved in the long-distance signaling of neurons.

Protein A purified

Saporin Conjugated. 192-IgG-SAP is sterile filtered and presented in Dulbecco′s PBS with no preservative.

Centrifuge material at low speed in microfuge to ensure all of the solution is at the bottom of the tube. Vortex gently. Long term storage at -70ºC or below. Short term storage at -20ºC or 2-8ºC with appropriate antibacterial agent if compatible with the intended application. The sterile conjugate is stable at 2-8ºC for several months. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Glycerol (1:1) can be added for additional stability if compatible with the intended application. This immunotoxin may be handled safely using standard laboratory procedures as the cross-species reactivity between these anti-rat p75 antibodies and the human form of p75 is negligible.
