Cell Proliferation Induced by β-NGF was Neutralized by Human β-NGF Antibody. Recombinant Human β-NGF (Catalog #11050-HNAC) stimulates proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. Proliferation elicited by 5 ng/mL of Recombinant Human β-NGF is neutralized by increasing concentrations of Rabbit Anti-Human β-NGF neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # 11050-RC6). The IC50 is typically 17-70 ng/mL.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. NGF protein was identified as a large complex consisting of three non-covalently linked subunits, α, β, and γ, among which, the β subunit, called β-NGF (beta-NGF), was demonstrated to exhibits the growth-stimulating activity of NGF protein. NGFB/beta-NGF gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein that homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. NGF protein acts via at least two receptors on the surface of cells (TrkA and p75 receptors) to regulate neuronal survival, promote neurite outgrowth, and up-regulate certain neuronal functions such as mediation of pain and inflammation. Also, previous studies indicated that NGF may also have an important role in the regulation of the immune system.
