CNTF Antibody (MA5-23730) in Neu
Neutralization assay of recombinant Rat CNTF stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by recombinant Rat CNTF (200 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of mouse Anti-Rat CNTF Monoclonal Antibody (Product # MA5-23730). The ND50 is typically 1-3 µg/mL.

Endoxin level is <1.0 EU per 1 µg of the antibody by the LAL method.
Target Information
The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. A read-through transcript variant composed of ZFP91 and CNTF sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of ZFP91 and CNTF has also been observed in mouse.
