      • ELISA
      • Immunohistochemistry
      • Affects Function
      • Western Blotting
      Application NotesImmunohistochemistry: 1-5 μg/mL (see suggested protocol).

      Immunoblotting: 1-5 μg/mL we recommend preparing the BDNF samples for western blot by the method of Semba-Katoh, R et.al (J. Neurochem. 69(1):34-42, 1997) because BDNF is not easily extracted in standard buffers. Dissected tissues should be homogenized in 10 volumes of 100mM phosphate buffer containing 1mM EDTA, 2M guanidine hydrochloride (pH7.2), and three protease inhibitors, 10mM N-ethylmaleimide, 0.36mM pepstatin, and 1mM PMSF. Homogenates are then sonicated and centrifuged at 46K x g for 30 minutes at 4°C. BDNF migrates as ~12-18kDa monomer, with a 28-30kDa homodimer in most samples.

      ELISA: 1-5 μg/mL

      Inhibition of biological activity in vitro: Complete inhibition of BDNF activity on embryonic chick sensory neurons occurs at 1-5 μg/mL. Biological inhibition protocols can be found in Finn et al. (J. Neurocytol. 15:169-176, 1986).
      BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Neutralizes BDNF, but not other neurotrophins.

      Use neat for in vivo studies.

      Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
      Biological Information

      HostSheep
      SpecificityRecognizes Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Neutralizes BDNF, but not other neurotrophins. By one site ELISA, less than 1% cross-reactivity against mouse NGF, recombinant human NT3 or neurotrophin 4. The antibody was tested on human and rat derived samples, but based on sequence similarity it is expected to react with mouse and other mammalian species. The peptide sequences of human, rat and mouse BDNF are identical.

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nerve growth factor family. It is induced by cortical neurons, and is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in both Alzheimer's and Huntington disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene, but the full-length nature of only some could be determined.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P23560 # Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. 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.
      SIZE: 247 amino acids; 27818 Da
      SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB.
      SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
      PTM: The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. & Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity).
      DISEASE: SwissProt: P23560 # Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) [MIM:209880]; also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases.
      SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P23560 ## Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
      Molecular Weight~12-18kDa monomer, with a 28-30kDa homodimer in most samples.
