NGF-Receptor / CD271 Previously Observed Antibody Staining Patterns
Observed Subcellular, Organelle Specific Staining Data:
Anti-NGFR antibody staining is expected to be primarily localized to the nucleoplasm and plasma membrane.
Observed Antibody Staining Data By Tissue Type:
Variations in NGF-Receptor / CD271 antibody staining intensity in immunohistochemistry on tissue sections are present across different anatomical locations. An intense signal was observed in peripheral nerve/ganglion in colon. More moderate antibody staining intensity was present in peripheral nerve/ganglion in colon. Low, but measureable presence of NGF-Receptor / CD271 could be seen inrespiratory epithelial cells in the bronchus, squamous epithelial cells in the cervix, uterine and esophagus, glandular cells in the gallbladder, respiratory epithelial cells in the nasopharynx, squamous epithelial cells in the oral mucosa, keratinocytes in skin and squamous epithelial cells in the tonsil. We were unable to detect NGF-Receptor / CD271 in other tissues. Disease states, inflammation, and other physiological changes can have a substantial impact on antibody staining patterns. These measurements were all taken in tissues deemed normal or from patients without known disease.
Observed Antibody Staining Data By Tissue Disease Status:
Tissues from cancer patients, for instance, have their own distinct pattern of NGF-Receptor / CD271 expression as measured by anti-NGF-Receptor / CD271 antibody immunohistochemical staining. The average level of expression by tumor is summarized in the table below. The variability row represents patient to patient variability in IHC staining.

| General Description of NGF-Receptor / CD271. | |
| It recognizes a glycoprotein of 75kDa, identified as low affinity Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Receptor (p75NGFR) or Neurotrophin Receptor (p75NTR). NGFR is expressed in various neural crest cells, their tumors such as melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, neurofibromas. Reportedly, anti-NGFR is a reliable marker for desmoplastic, neurotropic melanomas. NGFR is expressed in mature non-neural cells such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa, hair follicles, prostate basal cells,, myoepithelial cells. Anti-NGFR stains the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts, intra-lobular fibroblasts of breast ducts. | |
