Article Title: Neurotrophic Activity of Cultured Cell Line U87 is Up-Regulated by Proline-Rich Polypeptide Complex and Its Constituent Nonapeptide

doi: 10.1007/s10571-015-0192-8

Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting analysis of NGF forms secreted by astrocytoma cell line U87. Supernatants from control and compound-treated cells were separated in SDS-PAGE, then transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. NGF forms were detected with the use of specific polyclonal antibodies anti-βNGF. Immunocomplexes were visualized using a NBT/BCIP substrate and analyzed densitometrically in Molecular Imager ChemiDoc MP Imaging System with Image Lab Softwere (BioRad). The representative immunoblot is presented

Article Snippet: Rabbit anti-BDNF polyclonal antibody was from Bioss (MA, USA).
