Overview
Mouse Anti-Rat p75 NGF Receptor (extracellular)-FITC Antibody is an antibody targeting p75NTR, NGFR p75, TNFR superfamily member 16, TNFRSF16, CD271 Monoclonal raised in Mouse (Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)). This antibody is commonly used in FC to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: p75NTR, NGFR p75, TNFR superfamily member 16, TNFRSF16, CD271 (also reported as p75NTR, NGFR p75, TNFR superfamily member 16, TNFRSF16, CD271).
- Homology note: Recognizes p75NTR from rat samples only (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Rat.
- Specificity statement (as provided): 192-IgG reacts with rat p75NTR. It does not cross-react with p75NTR of human or mouse origin..
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #AN-170), and direct flow cytometry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Conjugate/format: Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (may affect detection channel and background).
- Antibody type: Monoclonal / IgG1.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
p75NTR known as a cell surface receptor for NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4, is also a receptor for β-amyloid, and for the myelin axon repellant protein MAG.1,2,4,6 Binding of neurotrophins induces receptor dimerization followed by phosphorylation of receptor kinase residues and recruitment of intracellular proteins involved in signal transduction. p75NTR functions alone, or in functional complexes with the neurotrophin receptors trkA, trkB and trkC. p75NTR signals via interaction with different transducers such as TRAF6, IRAK, and RIP-2, activating NF-κB, JNK and p38, and inactivating rhoA.1,3,6 Receptor degradation is mediated by a metalloproteinase-dependent shedding of the extracellular domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling immune-marker expression across cell subsets with single-cell or flow-based readouts.
- Connecting receptor/ligand levels to activation state and cytokine programs.
- Applying genetic perturbation or orthogonal assays to support specificity and interpretation.
Common research applications
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
