Human BDNF ELISA Kit

Использование

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Human BDNF ELISA kit has been used to determine the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation on BDNF protein expression in the striatum of Tourette syndrome (TS) rats. It has also been used to determine the plasma BDNF levels in GD1 (Gaucher′s disease type 1) patients and control population.

Общее описание

The Human BDNF ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human BDNF in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.

Биохимия/физиол Действия

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in hippocampal function and verbal episodic memory in humans. Hence, variation in the BDNF gene expression alters these neurological functions. BDNF also plays a vital role in vascular function and participates in angiogenesis via the specific receptor tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB). It is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer′s disease. ProBDNF interacts with p75 neurotrophin receptor, leading to long-term depression in the hippocampus.
