4. ERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES I INTRODUCTION Nerve growth factor NGF is a polypeptide involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons NGF is thought to have a profound effect on the development and maintenance of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurones NGF activity isolated from the male mouse submaxillary gland MSG consists of three types of subunits alpha beta and gamma which specifically interact to form a 7S approximately 130 000 molecular weight Mr complex The 7S complex contains two identical 118 amino acid beta chains which are solely responsible for the nerve growth stimulating activity of NGF NGFE which is expressed by inflammatory cells and effects changes that lead to increased neural responsiveness could be a pivotal mediator in allergic rhinitis FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY NOT FOR 0 OR THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES Il ASSAY PRINCIPLES The Rat NGF beta ELISA Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay kit is an in vitro enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Rat NGF beta in Cell Culture Supernatants Serum This assay employs an antibody specific for Rat NGF beta coated on a 96 well plate Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and NGF beta present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody The wells are washed and biotinylated anti Rat NGF beta antibody is added After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody HRP conj
