Description

Applications and Performance

Biotin-conjugated NF1 antibodies are widely used in diverse experimental protocols:

ApplicationDilution RangeKey Use Cases
ELISA1:500–1:1000Quantifying NF1 in cell lysates or serum .
Immunohistochemistry1:100–1:500Detecting NF1 in paraffin-embedded tissues (e.g., brain, breast cancer) .
Western Blot1:500–1:1000Identifying NF1 isoforms in protein extracts .
Flow Cytometry1–2 μg/10⁶ cellsAnalyzing intracellular NF1 expression in fixed/permeabilized cells .

Advantages of Biotin Conjugation:

  • Signal Amplification: Biotin-streptavidin systems enhance detection sensitivity in low-abundance targets .

  • Versatility: Compatible with enzymatic (HRP/AP) or fluorescent reporters for multiplex assays .

Role in RAS and mTOR Pathways

NF1 loss hyperactivates RAS and mTOR signaling, driving tumor growth in NF1-associated malignancies. Studies using NF1-deficient cells demonstrate that biotin-conjugated antibodies help validate:

  • STAT3 Hyperactivation: Phospho-STAT3 (Ser727) is elevated in NF1-deficient gliomas and MPNSTs, detectable via IHC .

  • Therapeutic Targeting: Cucurbitacin-I, identified through NF1-deficient cell screens, inhibits growth by suppressing STAT3 .

Microtubule Regulation and ADC Sensitivity

NF1 modulates microtubule repair, influencing responses to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) like T-DM1:

  • T-DM1 Efficacy: NF1 loss increases microtubule instability, enhancing T-DM1’s cytotoxic effects in breast cancer models .

  • Clinical Correlation: NF1-mutant metastatic breast cancer patients show prolonged progression-free survival with T-DM1 (HR: 0.37, p=0.04) .

Validation and Quality Control

  • Specificity: Both antibodies show no cross-reactivity with unrelated proteins .

  • Performance: Validated in NF1-deficient cell lines (e.g., ST88-14 MPNSTs) and patient-derived xenografts .

  • Controls: Include isotype-matched IgG and unstained samples to minimize background .

Future Directions

NF1 antibodies are pivotal in exploring:

  • Biomarker Development: NF1 mutation status as a predictor of ADC efficacy .

  • Mechanistic Studies: RAS-independent roles of NF1 in cytoskeletal regulation .

Target Background

Function
NF1 Antibody, Biotin conjugated, stimulates the GTPase activity of Ras. NF1 exhibits a higher affinity for Ras GAP, but lower specific activity. It may act as a regulator of Ras activity.
