Abstract
The immunological properties of the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, and NT-3 were compared using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against the beta subunit of mouse NGF. Affinity-purified anti-NGF IgG consistently recognized NGF and NT-3 on Western blots, and inhibited the trophic activity of NGF and NT-3 but not BDNF. In contrast, anti-NGF monoclonal antibodies did not block the trophic activity of either NT-3 or BDNF. These results are consistent with the greater structural overlap between NGF and NT-3 than between NGF and BDNF.Entities:
