Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Rat NGF/NGF beta in cell culture supernates and serum.Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a polypeptide involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. NGF is thought to have a profound effect on the development and maintenance of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurones. NGF activity isolated from the male mouse submaxillary gland (MSG) consists of three types of subunits, alpha, beta and gamma, which specifically interact to form a 7S, approximately 130,000-molecular weight (Mr) complex. The 7S complex contains two identical 118-amino acid beta-chains, which are solely responsible for the nerve growth-stimulating activity of NGF.1 NGF, which is expressed by inflammatory cells and effects changes that lead to increased neural responsiveness, could be a pivotal mediator in allergic rhinitis.2 Assay Range:15.6pg/ml-1000pg/mlSensitivity:< 1 pg/mlCrossreactivity:There is no detectable cross-reactivity with BDNF, GDNF, CNTF, NT3, and NT4.Uniprot ID:P25427Entrez Gene ID:310738Kit Components:96-well plate pre-coated with anti-NGF/NGF beta, RatLyophilized recombinant NGF/NGF beta, Rat standard, 10ng/tube, 2EaUSB Cat No Kit Component143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml143701 TMB stop solution, 10mlStorage and Handling:Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months.
