Specificity

NGF is a neurotrophic protein which is synthesized by the target tissues of NGF-sensitive neurons. NGF acts on sympathetic and sensoric neurons as well as on cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain. It has been suggested that NGF is involved in the neuropathology of Alzheimer′s Disease (Hefti & Weiner, 1986). In the peripheral nervous system, NGF plays a role in the development of autonomic and sensory neuropathies (Anand et al., 1991).

The antibody specifically reacts with the beta -subunit of NGF from mouse, in the 2.5S- as well as in the 7S-form.

The cross-reactivity with human NGF is 60-90 % of the reactivity with mouse NGF
