NGF Receptor Antibody / p75NTR / CD271

SKU: orb606817

Description

This antibody is specific for a glycoprotein of 75kDa, identified as low affinity Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Receptor (p75NGFR) or p75 Neurotrophin Receptor (p75NTR). NGFR is expressed in various neural crest cells and their tumors such as melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas and neurofibromas. Reportedly, anti-NGFR/p75NTR is a reliable marker for desmoplastic and neurotropic melanomas. It is expressed in mature non-neural cells such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles, prostate basal cells, and myoepithelial cells. Anti-NGFR/p75NTR stains the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intra-lobular fibroblasts of breast ducts.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the recombinant NGFR antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
