CNTF antibody
Rabbit anti Human CTNF antibody recognizes human CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor), a 200 amino acid homodimeric neurotrophic and differentiation factor of the CNTF family, which supports the survival and differentiation of several motor neuron types within the nervous system, but also affects other target tissues, including skeletal muscle (Vergara & Ramirez 2005), glial cells, hepatocytes and embryonic stem cells.
CNTF mainly signals through binding to a receptor complex consisting of a CNTFRa subunit, two beta components, gp130 and LIFR, resulting ultimately in the activation of JAK/STAT signalling pathway, but CNTF has also been shown to bind to the receptor for interleukin-6 (IL-6R).

Product Details
- Target Species
- Human
- Product Form
- Purified IgG - lyophilised
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute with 0.1ml distilled water
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
N.B. For functional studies do not add sodium azide - Antiserum Preparation
- Antisera to human CNTF were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
- Buffer Solution
- Phosphate buffered saline
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Immunogen
- Recombinant human CNTF (PHP173)
- Approx. Protein Concentrations
- IgG concentration 1.0mg/ml
Storage Information
- Storage
- Prior to reconstitution store at -20oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. - Guarantee
- Guaranteed for 3 months from the date of reconstitution or until the date of expiry, whichever comes first. Please see label for expiry date.
