Primary antibodies

Primary antibodies are crucial tools in biomedical research, designed to bind specifically to a particular antigen with high affinity. In neuroscience research, primary antibodies from AffiNEURO are essential for detecting and quantifying proteins, peptides, and other molecules involved in various neural processes and pathologies.

Production and Characterization

Primary antibodies can be either monoclonal or polyclonal, and their production involves immunizing an animal with the target antigen. The immune response generates antibodies against the antigen, which are then harvested and purified. The specific characteristics of these antibodies ensure their utility in various assays and experiments.

Characterization of primary antibodies includes:

  • ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay): To determine the antibody's binding affinity and specificity.
  • Western Blot: To confirm the antibody’s ability to detect the target protein in a denatured form.
  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC): To verify the antibody’s binding to antigens in tissue sections.
  • Flow Cytometry: To assess the antibody’s performance in recognizing antigens on cell surfaces.
Applications in Neuroscience

Primary antibodies in AffiNEURO serve a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

  • Neurodegenerative Diseases:
    • Alzheimer's Disease: Detecting amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and tau protein tangles.
    • Parkinson's Disease: Targeting alpha-synuclein to study its aggregation and toxicity.
  • Neurodevelopmental Studies:
    • Investigating the expression of neurodevelopmental markers like nestin, doublecortin, and NeuN.
  • Neuroinflammation:
    • Quantifying cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α to understand inflammatory pathways.
  • Neuro-oncology:
    • Identifying tumor markers in gliomas and other brain cancers, including GFAP and EGFR.
  • Synaptic Function and Plasticity:
    • Studying synaptic proteins such as PSD-95, synaptophysin, and NMDA receptors to understand synaptic mechanisms.
  • Signal Transduction Pathways:
    • Analyzing signaling molecules like ERK, AKT, and CREB involved in neuronal signaling.
