Scientific Data Images for Human Pro BDNF Antibody
Detection of BDNF in Hippocampus.
BDNF was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of hippocampus using Mouse Anti-Human Pro BDNF Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # mab3175) at 15 µg/ml overnight at 4 degrees Celsius followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm.

Background: BDNF
BDNF is a member of the NGF family of neurotrophic factors that are required for the differentiation and survival of neuronal subpopulations in the central and peripheral nervous systems. BDNF functions through interactions with the TrkB receptor tyrosine kinase and the low affinity neurotrophin receptor, p75 (NTR). The human BDNF cDNA encodes 247 amino acids (aa). Cleavage of an 18 aa signal sequence produces an approximately 35 kDa Pro-BDNF form. The N-terminal pro region of BDNF is removed by tPA and furin to release biologically active, 14 kDa BDNF. The propeptides of human and mouse BDNF share 93% aa sequence identity.
