Anti-Neurocan Antibody, clone 650.24

Neurocan is the major soluble chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in the brain. It is thought to play a functional role in axonal growth and guidance and in the establishment of specific neural pathways during embryonic brain development. Neurocan expression in the brain is developmentally regulated. Early on the major form of neurocan consists of a 245 kD core protein with approximately two chondroitin sulfate glycosoaminoglycan chains of 22 kD each. Later neurocan comprises a 180 kD core protein. Both forms of neurocan contain only chondroitin 4-sulfate glycosoaminoglycan chains. By virtue of their high expression at sites of neurnal damage and trauma, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, including neurocan, are thought to inhibit successful nerve regeneration.

This Anti-Neurocan Antibody, clone 650.24 is validated for use in IP, WB, IC, IH for the detection of Neurocan.

Western blotting : 1 à 2 µg/mL. Reacts with polypeptides of 260 and 160 kDa on western blots of embryonic rat brain tissue extracts. The 160 kDa species is typically only seen aftyer chondroitinase treatment.Treatment is at a concentration of chondroitinase of 10U/mL in Tris-HCL pH 8.0. Make tissue or cell extract in 20-50mM Tris pH 7.6-8.0 with 0.15M NaCl in the presence of protease inhibitors. Add 1 microliter of enzyme to 30 microliters of extract and incubate 30 minutes at 37C. Then add SDS sample buffer, heat or boil sample as normal for SDS reducing samples.

Immunocytochimie :



μ

Neurocan. The specificity of clone 650.24 was checked by western blots of brain lysates and purified neurocan; the antibody reacted with the identical bands that clones 1D1 and 1F6 (other neurocan monoclonals) reacted; furthermore, the staining pattern of brain sections with these antibodies were all identical. Finally 650.24 also recognized recombinant neurocan expressed in transfected 293 cells by western blot.
