Gene Information
human ... BDNF(627)
Specificity
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). By dot blot, less than 1% cross-reactivity against NGF, NT3 or NT4.
SPECIES REACTIVITIES: Rat and human. Other species not yet tested. It is likely that the antibody will also work on mouse and porcine due to sequence homology.

Immunogen
Recombinant Human Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
Application
Detect Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor using this Anti-Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Antibody validated for use in WB, IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1,000 (see suggested protocol).
Immunoblotting:1:1,000; we recommend preparing the BDNF samples for western blot by the method of Katoh-Semba (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 4C.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Neutralizes BDNF, but not other neurotrophins.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form
Lyophilized, no preservatives. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile distilled water.
Storage and Stability
Maintain lyophilized material at -20 to -70°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (1:1) can be added for additional stability.

Exercise and rehabilitative training each have been implicated in the promotion of restorative neural plasticity after cerebral injury. Because motor skill training induces synaptic plasticity and exercise increases plasticity-related proteins, we asked if exercise could improve the efficacy of training

Preclinical studies have indicated that antidepressant effect of vortioxetine involves increased synaptic plasticity and promotion of spine maturation. Mitochondria dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiological basis of major depressive disorder. Taking into consideration that vortioxetine increases spine number and dendritic

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was covalently attached to polyethylene glycol (PEG) in order to enhance delivery to the spinal cord via the cerebrospinal fluid (intrathecal administration). By varying reaction conditions, mixtures of BDNF covalently attached to one (primary), two (secondary)

We have previously demonstrated that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) interacts with testosterone to regulate dendritic morphology of motoneurons in the highly androgen-sensitive spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB). Additionally, in adult male rats testosterone regulates BDNF in SNB motoneurons and
