Background | The Quantikine Total BDNF Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure BDNF in cell culture supernates, tissue lysates, serum, plasma, urine, and human milk. It contains recombinant human BDNF expressed in Sf 21 cells and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant BDNF accurately. Results obtaine...d measuring natural BDNF showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural BDNF. Show More |
Additional Information | Detects free and Trk-bound BDNF |
Specificity | Natural and recombinant free, trk-bound, pro-, and mature BDNF. |

The use of a GFP antibody for research applications in transgenic C. elegans, GFP tagged yeast and porcine model GFP, or green fluorescent protein, is a chemiluminescent protein derived from Aequorea jellyfish that was first discovered by Osamu Shimomura. It was soon after established that the emission spectra of GFP was right around 509nm, or the ultraviol... Read full blog post. |
The identification of dopaminergic neurons using Tyrosine Hydroxylase in Parkinson's research and LRRK2 Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a crucial enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine in the brain. Specifically, TH catalyzes the conversion of l-tyrosine to l-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa). The importance of t... Read full blog post. |
Niemann Pick-C1 and cholesterol dynamics Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) mediates low-density cholesterol transport from late endosomes and lysosomes to other areas of the cell via receptor mediation endocytosis. Although cholesterol moves freely inside the cell, it cannot independently expo... Read full blog post. |
Synapsin I: Implicated in synaptic activity across a diverse range of studies Synapsins are a family of neuronal proteins that are most renowned for their activity in modulating the pre-synaptic terminal. Synapsin’s behavior is regulated by protein kinases and phosphatases, which alter the way that synapsin’s i... Read full blog post. |
TrkB: Bridging Ontogenesis and Oncogenesis Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a member of the Trk receptor tyrosine kinases family consisting of TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. The sequence of these family members is highly conserved. Interaction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with its ... Read full blog post. |
TrkB and Nervous System Function Neutrophins and their receptors play an important role in regulating the development of both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurotrophin ligand binding to each of their respective Trk cellular receptors is essential for the growth and sur... Read full blog post. |
TrkB: Docking for Neurotrophins and Beyond. Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a member of the Trk receptor tyrosine kinases family consisting of TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. The sequence of these family members is highly conserved. TrK's are activated by several neurotrophins, which are small pro... Read full blog post. |
BDNF Antibodies Aid Research on Alzheimer's Therapies Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to be important for neuronal differentiation, survival, migration and plasticity in both the developing embryo and adult synapses. The BDNF antibody is also proving to be an important tool in Alzheimer... Read full blog post. |
BDNF Antibodies and Synaptic Research Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the NGF family of neurotrophins.
