Androgen Receptor (AR) is a transcriptional regulator with a broad array of functions. This marker is clinically significant in the understanding of tumour progression and tumour aggressiveness. The detection of AR by immunohistochemical staining is important for diagnosis of all types of prostate carcinoma, including both therapy-responsive and therapy-unresponsive disease states. Co-testing with AR and CK20 is used for differential diagnosis of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) [CK20+/AR-], morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [CK20-/AR+], and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) [CK20-/AR-].

PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) is the DNA polymerase delta auxiliary protein acting in homotrimeric form to increase the processivity of leading strand synthesis during DNA replication. PCNA is expressed in the nucleus of all proliferating cells. In response to DNA damage, it is ubiquitinated and is involved in the RAD6-dependent DNA repair pathway. PCNA is a useful marker of DNA synthesis, as its form not involved in DNA synthesis degradates in histological preparations in the presence of organic solvents.

Background Info:
Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (By similarity). Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins (PubMed:10926528, PubMed:12044163, PubMed:11972040, PubMed:16908857, PubMed:16586416, PubMed:17060607, PubMed:17449675, PubMed:18818650, PubMed:21389983, PubMed:22198838, PubMed:23579341, PubMed:25205354, PubMed:27458239). Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling (PubMed:1396673, PubMed:15111114). Ref: uniprot.org

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Use neat for in vivo studies at 5-10 uL/g body weight. This antiserum stains cell bodies and some nerve terminals in the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord, however, does not stain finest nerve terminals. <br><br>Western Blotting: Antibody does detect BDNF forms in tissue lysates but there are multiple bands present, many of which are uncharacterized. The antibody detects 14 kDa (mature BDNF), 32 kDa (proBDNF) and a 18 kDa BDNF isoform (see blot examples). In cell lysates, only 18 kDa and 32 kDa BDNF are detected. The reason for these differences has not been characterized. Alternative antibodies for Western Blotting are: R-017-500 (IgG-purified form of R-088-100 for tissue homogenate analysis); R-1707-100 (cell lysates and tissue homogenates), R-083-100/R-066-500 (cell lysates, tissue homogenates and human serum); M-1744-50/100 (human serum and tissue homogenates).<br><br>Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

CD1d belongs to CD1 family of transmembrane glycoproteins, associated with beta2 microglobulin, similarly to MHC I molecules. Unlike other CD1 family members, however, CD1d can be also expressed in a non-glycosylated form, which is not associated with beta2 microglobulin. Hence it is not certain how much CD1d plays a role in the presentation of microbial lipid antigens during infection. On the other hand, it is expressed on various antigen presenting cell types. Besides it, CD1d+ thymocytes are involved in the positive selection of sublineage of NKT cells.SpecificityThe antibody MEM-65 recognizes a unique extracellular epitope of CD2, a 50 kDa glycoprotein present on the human peripheral blood T-lymphocytes and NK cells; also expressed by all thymocytes.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 4-8 ?g/ml.

DNA methylation is a type of chemical modification of DNA that can be inherited and subsequently removed without changing the original DNA sequence. Therefore it is part of the epigenetic code and is also the most well characterized epigenetic mechanism. DNA methylation results in addition of a methyl group to DNA — for example, to the number 5 carbon of the cytosine pyrimidine ring — which involves reduction in gene expression. In adult somatic tissues, DNA methylation typically occurs in a CpG dinucleotide context; non-CpG methylation is prevalent in embryonic stem cells.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), pig serum, cell lysates, brain extracts, human milk and Sheep CSF only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples, human milk and CSF. Note that accurate quantification of BDNF in human milk requires a secretory IgA (sIgA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-001-1250 ). For measurement of mature BDNF in CSF samples, please contact us at sales@biosensis.com . This ELISA kit has been tested in independent research laboratories and found to achieve highest reproducibility with intra- and inter-assay CVs as low as 1% and 5%, respectively (Polacchini et al., 2015). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. Extensive validation has demonstrated that the Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA shows only minimal cross-reactivity with proBDNF. Please refer to our Technical Note #5 for further details on ELISA assay validation for BDNF isoform detection and quanification. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures. For in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA), we refer to the CE Marked BDNF ELISA kit (BEK-2211-CE) .

Typical limit of detection (LOD) for BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM). Additional proBDNF cross-reactivity experiments were conducted as summarized in our <a class="newA" target="_blank" href="https://www.biosensis.com/documents/enhancedinfo/Technical-Note-5-Mature-BDNF-Isoform-Detection-and-Quantification-by-ELISA.pdf">Technical Note #5</a>.
The Biosensis proBDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the specific, fast and reliable quantification of proBDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, human serum and EDTA-plasma only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human blood samples. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated monoclonal anti-proBDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-matureBDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proBDNF present in samples and protein standards. A proBDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This proBDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant, cleavage-resistant human proBDNF standard produced in mammalian cells by Biosensis and validated against externally available proBDNF proteins. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and EDTA-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Specificity:
Human proBDNF. The capture antibody used in this ELISA kit binds to an epitope within the pro-domain of proBDNF. Thus, this ELISA detects the full length form of proBDNF and does not quantify mature BDNF. Whether this ELISA kit can detect truncated BDNF is unknown at present. Mature BDNF cross-reactivity was assessed by spiking 28 kDa mature BDNF protein obtained from WHO (www.nibsc.org) into a 1/5 diluted human serum sample at 5 ng/mL, which represents a BDNF concentration level of 25 ng/mL in undiluted, normal human serum.

Cytokeratins 5, 6 and 18 are reported to be expressed in a broad range of human epithelial tissues, from simple glandular epithelia to stratified squamous epithelia. These include epithelial cells that are ectodermal, mesodermal, or endodermal in origin. These cytokeratins have been reported to be expressed in tumor cells of epithelial origin and less commonly of mesothelial origin. Non-epithelial tumors such as lymphomas do not express these cytokeratins. The recognition of cytokeratin 18 on formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections using clone LP34 may be variable.

The 5-HT7 Receptor Antibody was raised against synthetic peptide sequence corresponding to amino acids 8-23 of the rat 5-HT7 receptor coupled to carrier protein with glutaraldehyde. The ImmunoStar 5-HT7 receptor antiserum was quality control tested using standard immunohistochemical methods. The antiserum demonstrates strongly positive labeling of rat cortex and hippocampus using indirect immunofluorescent and biotin/avidin-HRP techniques. Recommended primary dilutions are 1/100 - 1/300 in PBS - biotin/avidin-HRP Technique. Note: use of Triton X-100 or other detergents is not recommended. The antibody was characterized by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical staining of rat brain correlates well with Northern blot analysis, in situ hybridization and receptor autoradiography studies. Immunolabeling is completely abolished by preadsorption with synthetic rat 5-HT7 receptor (8-23). BlastP database sequence homology searches indicate that the amino acid sequence is unique to rat 5-HT7A, 5-HT7B and 5-HT7C. There is also significant sequence overlap with the mouse and human forms.
The 5-HT 2A Receptor Antibody was raised against a multiple antigenic peptide of an N-terminal synthetic sequence corresponding to amino acids 22-41 of rat 5HT2A receptor. The antibody is provided as 100 uL of affinity purified serum in PBS (0.02 M sodium phosphate with 0.15 M sodium chloride, pH 7.5) with 1% BSA (bovine serum albumin), and 0.02% sodium azide. The antiserum demonstrates strongly positive labeling of rat cortex, amygdala and hippocampus using indirect immunofluorescent and biotin/avidin-HRP techniques. Recommended primary dilutions are 1/300 - 1/500 in PBS/0.03% Triton X-100 - Bn/Av-HRP Technique. The addition of intensifying reagents such as nickel ammonium sulfate to the chromogen solution will approximately double the dilution factor as recommended. Immunolabeling is completely abolished by preadsorption with synthetic rat 5HT2A receptor (22-41). Immunolabeling of Western blot revealed a single band of approximately 53kD.
The antibody reacts with the 4th and 5th fibronectin-like repeats of human tenascin-C. It has been demonstrated that tenascin immunoreactivity in breast carcinoma cells could be indicative of metastasis and survival. Recent studies using retrospective material showed that the expression of tenascin in invasion border of early breast cancer significantly correlates with higher risk of distant metastasis. These studies have been continued now and the preliminary results clearly suggest that expression of tenascin in invasion border of early breast cancer is significantly associated with proliferative activity and higher risk of local recurrence. This result implicates a wide application for tenascin antibodies in the breast pathology.

PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) is the DNA polymerase delta auxiliary protein acting in homotrimeric form to increase the processivity of leading strand synthesis during DNA replication. PCNA is expressed in the nucleus of all proliferating cells. In response to DNA damage, it is ubiquitinated and is involved in the RAD6-dependent DNA repair pathway. PCNA is a useful marker of DNA synthesis, as its form not involved in DNA synthesis degradates in histological preparations in the presence of organic solvents.

Androgen Receptor (AR) is a transcriptional regulator with a broad array of functions. This marker is clinically significant in the understanding of tumour progression and tumour aggressiveness. The detection of AR by immunohistochemical staining is important for diagnosis of all types of prostate carcinoma, including both therapy-responsive and therapy-unresponsive disease states. Co-testing with AR and CK20 is used for differential diagnosis of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) [CK20+/AR-], morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [CK20-/AR+], and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) [CK20-/AR-].
