TrkA, also known as NTRK1, MTC, TRK, TRK1. It is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTKR) family. This kinase is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. The presence of this kinase leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutilating behavior, mental retardation and cancer. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been found, but only three have been characterized to date.

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR), also known as p75, P-75NTR, or CD271, is a neurotrophin receptor belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor family. It is expressed mainly in Schwann cells and neurons, as well as a number of other non-neuronal cell types, and is also expressed in melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, neurofibromas, neurotized nevi (type C melanocytes), and other neural crest cell or tumour derivatives. It has been suggested that NGFR may act as a tumour suppressor indicated in prostate and urothelial cancer, and Anti-NGFR is often used in adjunct with S100, to aid in the diagnosis of desmoplastic and neurotrophic malignant melanomas. Anti-NGFR is also useful as an aid in the diagnosis of breast malignancy, as the antibody labels the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intralobular fibroblasts of breast ducts.

The causes and effects of neuronal degeneration are of major interest to a wide variety of neuroscientists. Paralleling this growing interest is an increasing number of methods applicable to the detection of neuronal degeneration. Fluoro-Jade C stains all degenerating neurons regardless of specific insult or mechanism of cell death. Fluoro-Jade C exhibits the greatest signal to background ratio, as well as the highest resolution. This translates to a stain of maximal contrast and affinity for degenerating neurons. This makes it ideal for localising not only degenerating nerve cell bodies but also distal dendrites, axons and terminals. The dye is highly resistant to fading and is compatible with virtually all histological processing and staining protocols.
Product Type:
Staining Reagent
Format:
The reagents in the Fluoro Jade kit (10X) are all supplied in a liquid format and are ready-to-dilute.
Species Reactivity:
Human,Mouse,Other Mammals (Predicted),Rat

Specificity:
Degenerating neurons, and neuronal degeneration. There is no specific staining in normal healthy brain. Note: Some researchers under some conditions report blood vessel staining with Fluoro Jade. This may be because Fluoro Jade is an analogue of eosin (which stains blood cells). In general, good perfusion and preparation of the tissue should help prevent blood vessel staining but it may not be possible to eliminate it entirely. In our experience it is generally possible to distinguish neuronal from blood vessels staining by eye.
Storage:
The unopened kit can be stored for up to 6 months at 2-8ºC after the date of receipt. The kit and components should be stored protected from light. Diluted FJC dye solutions are not stable and should be used within 4 hours of making. The other diluted solutions can be reused and stored for up to 48 hours if refrigerated and protected from light. Best results require freshly diluted solutions. We recommend using aseptic techniques when handling the reagents to avoid bacterial growth and contamination.<br><br>The FJC Ready to dilute kit is shipped ambient and stable at room temperature during transport. Refrigerate upon arrival, do not freeze.
The causes and effects of neuronal degeneration are of major interest to a wide variety of neuroscientists. Paralleling this growing interest is an increasing number of methods applicable to the detection of neuronal degeneration. Fluoro-Jade C stains all degenerating neurons regardless of specific insult or mechanism of cell death. Fluoro-Jade C exhibits the greatest signal to background ratio, as well as the highest resolution. This translates to a stain of maximal contrast and affinity for degenerating neurons. This makes it ideal for localising not only degenerating nerve cell bodies but also distal dendrites, axons and terminals. The dye is highly resistant to fading and is compatible with virtually all histological processing and staining protocols.

Specificity:
Degenerating neurons, and neuronal degeneration. There is no specific staining in normal healthy brain. Note: Some researchers under some conditions report blood vessel staining with Fluoro Jade. This may be because Fluoro Jade is an analogue of eosin (which stains blood cells). In general, good perfusion and preparation of the tissue should help prevent blood vessel staining but it may not be possible to eliminate it entirely. In our experience it is generally possible to distinguish neuronal from blood vessels staining by eye.
Storage:
The unopened kit can be stored for up to 6 months at 2-8ºC after the date of receipt. The kit and components should be stored protected from light. Diluted FJC dye solutions are not stable and should be used within 4 hours of making. The other diluted solutions can be reused and stored for up to 48 hours if refrigerated and protected from light. Best results require freshly diluted solutions. We recommend using aseptic techniques when handling the reagents to avoid bacterial growth and contamination.<br><br>The FJC Ready to dilute kit is shipped ambient and stable at room temperature during transport. Refrigerate upon arrival, do not freeze.
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released. This antibody is raised in sheep to detect the prodomain of NGF not the mature peptide.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The protein named TrkB (also named Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2), GP145-TrkB or Tropomyosin-related kinase B is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems and is important in the regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. TrkB may also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. TrkB is the primary receptor for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor. TrkB also binds NT4 and NT3 but less efficiently. Upon ligand-binding, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. TrkB activation recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that each regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades within cells. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, these activate the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates, for instance, neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. These same effectors also control the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. TrkB, via activation of PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways, also controls synaptic plasticity, and thus plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. One such consequence is that PLCG1 activation via TrkB is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. (Reference: www.uniprot.org)

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein.

It is a dimer with 2 identical polypeptide chains and dimeric molecular weight of approximately 26,500 Da. Isolation and purification of NGF from mouse submaxillary glands yields preparations of NGF (2.5S) with identical biological activity but with cleavages at the amino terminus (with the loss of 8 amino acids) and/or at the carboxy-terminus (with the loss of arginine). These preparations are named 2.5 NGF (see reference below).
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. It stimulates division and differentiation of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurons.

p75NTR (CD271) was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins, including NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. Recent research proposes the extracellular domain of p75NTR as a biomarker for monitoring the progression of motor neuron disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein.

For detection of mature BDNF in cell lysates such as SH-SY5Y we recommend affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody to rhBDNF (R-1707-100), or rabbit polyclonal antibody to BDNF peptide 1-10 (R-083-100, whole serum; R-066-500, IgG).<br><br><b>Immunofluorescence:</b> 1 to 4 µg/mL, 4% formaldehyde fixation and permeabilization.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Mouse anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for ICC, FC.
Background Info:
TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutalating behaviour, mental retardation and cancer (Reference: www.uniprot.com).

Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is also referred to as p75(NTR) due to its molecular mass and its ability to bind at low affinity not only NGF (see 162030), but also other neurotrophins, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 113505), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3; 162660), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NTF5; 162662). At the time of its discovery, NGFR was considered a unique type of protein. Subsequently, however, a large superfamily of tumor necrosis factor receptors were found to share the overall structure of NGFR (4 extracellular ligand-binding, cysteine-rich repeats, or CRs, and signaling through association with, or disassociation from, cytoplasmic interactors). The identification of this superfamily helped elucidate some of the biologic functions of NGFR, including its ultimate involvement in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB; see 164011) and apoptosis pathways. As a monomer, NGFR binds NGF with low affinity. Higher affinity binding is achieved by association with higher molecular mass, low-affinity neurotrophin receptors, namely the tropomyosin receptor kinases, TRKA (NTRK1; 191315), TRKB (NTRK2; 600456), and TRKC (NTRK3; 191316). TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC are specific for or 'preferred by' NGF, NTF5 and BDNF, and NTF3, respectively (Ip et al., 1993). NTF3 also binds to TRKA and TRKB, but with significantly lower affinity

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. MC192 has a potential use as the ligand for gene delivery into p75NTR-expressing rat cells via a receptor-mediated mechanism. FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9. Interacts through TRAF6 with SQSTM1 which bridges NGFR to NTRK1 (By similarity).

The recommended concentration for FACS is 20 µg/mL and at least 1 in 5000 dilution is recommended for 1-site ELISA. Optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user. MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The FITC version of MC192 is primarily targeted for FACS or IF applications on live or lightly fixed cells. Antibody will not work in traditional formalin fixed tissues.

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. MC192 recognizes the extracellular domain of the neurotrophin receptor p75NTR in rat. MC192 antibody may be used for immunocytochemical localisation of rat cells expressing p75NTR, ELISA and western blot. This antibody has also been used for the construction of the MC192-saporin immunotoxin for specific elimination of neuronal populations in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons to generate an animal model for Alzheimer's disease. Using Flow Cytometry, this antibody has frequently been employed for panning to isolate p75NTR-expressing rat cells. MC192 has a potential use as the ligand for gene delivery into p75NTR-expressing rat cells via a receptor-mediated mechanism. FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9. Interacts through TRAF6 with SQSTM1 which bridges NGFR to NTRK1 (By similarity). Interacts with BEX1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. DOMAIN: Death domain is responsible for interaction with RANBP9. PTM: N- and O-glycosylated. PTM: Phosphorylated on serine residues. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 death domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 TNFR-Cys repeats.

IH (lightly fixed), ELISA, WB, Flow Cytometry (2 ug per 10^6 cells) IP (non-reducing conditions only!; do not use reducing agents such as DTT or beta-mercaptoethanol), Traditional formalin fixed paraffin embedded immunohistochemistry is NOT recommended with MC192. Motor neuron isolation, Gene/Toxin Delivery to rat sensory/motor neurons. A working solution of 1-2 µg/mL was determined by immunohistochemical staining on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed, or alcohol fixed rat spinal cord and brain. For non-denatured WB, 1-5 µg/mL was found to be suitable with suitable controls (PC12 lysate). ELISA: detection only, 1-5 µg/mL has been suggested in literature.Immunoprecipitation: 5 µg/mL, > 0.5% triton X-100 buffer/500 ug/lysate; PC12 positive control strong suggested. MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

This cell lysate is suitable as positive control for Western Blotting, to confirm TrkB phosphorylation at amino acid S478 (rat/mouse) or S479 (human), respectively, using TrkB (pS478/479) rabbit antibody R-1718-50. It is particular useful for complex Western Blotting samples to identify TrkB (pS478/479) immunoreactive bands. This lysate has been prepared by triggering TrkB phosphorylation in retinoic acid-treated mouse NSC34 cells with mature BDNF, and subsequent processing with RIPA buffer. The cell lysate is provided lyophilised for extended stability.
Background Info:
Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity (By similarity). Receptor for BDNF/brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NTF4/neurotrophin-4. Alternatively can also bind NTF3/neurotrophin-3 which is less efficient in activating the receptor but regulates neuron survival through NTRK2. Upon ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. Recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 activates the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates for instance neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. Through the same effectors controls the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. Through PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways controls synaptic plasticity. Thereby, plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. Hence, it is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. May also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia (Ref: uniprot.org).

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG).

The Biosensis Mature BDNF/proBDNF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important BDNF isoforms: Mature BDNF ( BEK-2211 ) and full-length proBDNF ( BEK-2237 ). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature BDNF and proBDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), mouse and rat cell lysates and rat brain extracts only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2211 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2237 (proBDNF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples. BEK-2241 is the preferred Combo kit for human blood samples. The Mature BDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proBDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated monoclonal anti-proBDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF or proBDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF and proBDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. Both ELISA kits contain high quality protein calibrators. The Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant E.coli-derived human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. The proBDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant mammalian, cleavage-resistant human proBDNF standard produced by Biosensis and validated against externally available proBDNF proteins. Due to a high degree of amino acid sequence homology, mouse and rat proBDNF can be quantified and expressed as human proBDNF equivalents. Internal Biosensis validation suggests that the use of the human standard provided in this kit will provide estimates that are identical, or close, to the actual levels of rat and mouse proBDNF present in rodent samples. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Product references:
Please refer to BEK-2211 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA Kit) and BEK-2237 (proBDNF Rapid TM ELISA Kit) .
Specificity:
Mature BDNF ELISA: Human, mouse, rat BDNF and numerous other species. Although the BDNF assay antibodies are raised against the mature domain, the mature BDNF ELISA preferentially detects mature BDNF over full-length proBDNF.
proBDNF ELISA: Human, mouse and rat proBDNF. The capture antibody used in the proBDNF ELISA kit binds to epitopes within the pro-domain of proBDNF. Thus, this ELISA detects the full length and potentially truncated form of proBDNF, and does not quantify mature BDNF.
Typical limit of detection (LOD) for mature BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, and 6 pg/mL for proBDNF determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
<b>Cross-reactivity of BDNF isoforms:</b><br><br><b>Mature BDNF ELISA:</b><br>No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM).<br><br><b>proBDNF ELISA:</b><br>Mature BDNF cross-reactivity was assessed by spiking 28 kDa mature BDNF protein obtained from WHO (www.nibsc.org) into a 1/5 diluted human serum sample at 5 ng/mL, which represents a BDNF concentration level of 25 ng/mL in undiluted, normal human serum. Cross-reactivity of mature BDNF was < 0.3% (w/v), or < 0.1% in molar concentration. The assay antibodies do not cross-react with nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) or NT-4/5.
The Biosensis Mature BDNF/proBDNF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important BDNF isoforms: Mature BDNF ( BEK-2211 ) and full-length proBDNF ( BEK-2217 ). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature BDNF and proBDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate), cell lysates and brain extracts only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2211 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2217 (proBDNF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples. For human blood samples, we suggest the use of BEK-2241 (Mature BDNF/proBDNF Combo kit) . The Mature BDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proBDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated polyclonal anti-proBDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF or proBDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF and proBDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. Both ELISA kits contain high quality protein calibrators. The Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant E.coli-derived human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. The proBDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant mammalian, cleavage-resistant human proBDNF standard produced by Biosensis and validated against externally available proBDNF proteins. Due to a high degree of amino acid sequence homology, mouse and rat proBDNF can be quantified and expressed as human proBDNF equivalents. Internal Biosensis validation suggests that the use of the human standard provided in this kit will provide estimates that are identical, or close, to the actual levels of rat and mouse proBDNF present in rodent samples. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.

The Biosensis Mouse and Rat proNGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rodent full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli and consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. This ELISA kit is expected to detect rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates. In the absence of a true rat proNGF standard, results may be expressed as 'mouse proNGF equivalents'. This ELISA kit shows only 20% reactivity with the human form of proNGF and is therefore not suitable to quantify human proNGF. No cross-reactivity was observed with mature mouse NGF and full-length proBDNF when tested in assay buffer. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain (capture) and mature domain (detection) of the protein, thus this ELISA assay does not detect the pro-domain peptide. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

Specificity:
Mouse proNGF. Expected to detect rat proNGF due to high degree of sequence homology. Detects human proNGF (about 20% reactivity). Does not cross-react with proBDNF and mature NGF.
Typical limit of detection (LOD) for mouse proNGF is less than 50 pg/mL determined as blank value plus 3x standard deviation of blank OD (n=10).
Cross Reactivity:
Reacts with human proNGF (about 20% reactivity). Does not cross-react with proBDNF and mature NGF. Mature NGF spiked into brain homogenate does not interfere with proNGF quantification.
The Biosensis Mouse and Rat proNGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rodent full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli and consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. This ELISA kit is expected to detect rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates. In the absence of a true rat proNGF standard, results may be expressed as 'mouse proNGF equivalents'. This ELISA kit shows only 20% reactivity with the human form of proNGF and is therefore not suitable to quantify human proNGF. No cross-reactivity was observed with mature mouse NGF and full-length proBDNF when tested in assay buffer. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain (capture) and mature domain (detection) of the protein, thus this ELISA assay does not detect the pro-domain peptide. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. <br />FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. <br />DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, also known as p75NTR, is a low affinity NGF receptor. It binds with equal affinity all members of the neurotrophin family including beta NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. It also binds the pro-neurotrophins. NGF receptors mediate signaling of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. These receptors are also thought to play a role in neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease. The p75NTR NGF receptor is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein (396 aa) consisting of a signal peptide (21 aa), an extracellular domain (225 aa) which contains four cysteine rich domains responsible for ligand binding, a transmembrane domain (19 aa) and a cytoplasmic domain (152 aa). It is a member of the TNF-alpha receptor family (TNR16). Recently, p75NTR has been shown to act as a receptor for many pathogens such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. It also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO, mediating inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein.
Lyophilized products should be stored at 2-8°C. Following reconstitution, short-term storage at 2-8°C is recommended and longer-term storage of aliquots at -18 to -20°C. Repeated freeze thawing is not recommended.
The biosensis Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit has been designed to allow rapid screening and quantification of rat NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5 in cell culture supernatants, lysates, serum and brain extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular rat serum. This two-plate kit consists of four sets of 6 strips for each Neurotrophin, allowing for the assay of 16 samples per Neurotrophin tested and a full range of standards, all run in duplicate. It provides the identical sensitivities and ranges that are achieved in the complete, individual ELISA kits, thus allowing easy progression into the larger individual assay sizes when needed. The Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit therefore presents a cost effective way to quickly screen multiple samples, which can then be published or used prior to a more extensive analysis with the individual kits. The kit comes complete with all detection reagents and is ready to use. Individual coated strips are provided and each set of standards and detection antibodies are color-coded. NOTE: For research use only. Not for diagnostic and clinical purposes.

The Biosensis GDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of GDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-GDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-GDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of GDNF present in samples and protein standards. This GDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant mouse GDNF standard and is therefore designed to measure the murine form of GDNF. Note that the antibodies used in this kit cross-react with rat, human and guinea pig GDNF. This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

The Biosensis Rat Mature NGF/proNGF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important NGF isoforms: Mature NGF (BEK-2214) and full-length proNGF (BEK-2236). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature NGF and proNGF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2214 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2236 (proNGF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application. The Mature NGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proNGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature NGF or proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A NGF and proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. The Mature NGF ELISA kit employs a high-quality recombinant rat NGF protein as standard, and thus the Mature NGF/proNGF Combo kit is designed to measure the rat NGF isoforms. However, the rat mature NGF ELISA kit will cross-react with mouse and human mature NGF protein. The proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. Mouse proNGF and rat proNGF share 96% sequence homology, and internal validation data has demonstrated the ability of the proNGF ELISA to detect proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates and rat brain tissue homogenate. However, the proNGF ELISA shows only little cross-reactivity (20%) with human proNGF. This Combo kit is capable of distinguishing and independently quantifying the mature NGF and full-length NGF isoforms. Internal validation data demonstrates that the mature NGF ELISA assay antibodies preferentially detect the mature form of NGF. Cross-reaction of full-length proNGF was This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

The biosensis Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit has been designed to allow rapid screening and quantification of human NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5 in cell culture supernatants, lysates, serum, plasma (EDTA and citrate) and brain extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human serum and plasma samples. This two-plate kit consists of four sets of 6 strips for each Neurotrophin, allowing for the assay of 16 samples per Neurotrophin tested and a full range of standards, all run in duplicate. It provides the identical sensitivities and ranges that are achieved in the complete, individual ELISA kits, thus allowing easy progression into the larger individual assay sizes when needed. The Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit therefore presents a cost effective way to quickly screen multiple samples, which can then be published or used prior to a more extensive analysis with the individual kits. The kit comes complete with all detection reagents and is ready to use. Individual coated strips are provided and each set of standards and detection antibodies are color-coded. NOTE: For research use only. Not for diagnostic and clinical purposes.

The Biosensis Mouse Mature NGF/proNGF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important NGF isoforms: Mature NGF (BEK-2213) and full-length proNGF (BEK-2236). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature NGF and proNGF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Researchers have used both kits for NGF/proNGF measurement in mouse urine, however, Biosensis has not yet internally validated the use of urine in both ELISA kits. End-users are strongly advised to perform essential validation experiments to assure accurate NGF/proNGF quantification in mouse urine. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2213 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2236 (proNGF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application.

Mature mouse NGF (27 kDa) and full-length mouse proNGF (50 kDa) were assayed in parallel at equimolar protein concentrations across the Mouse NGF ELISA calibration range (3.9-250 pg/mL; 0.14-9.2 pmol/L). OD readings for mouse proNGF were indistinguishable from the assay's blank OD readings.<br><br><b>proNGF ELISA:</b><br>Does not cross-react with proBDNF and mature NGF. Mature NGF spiked into brain homogenate does not interfere with proNGF quantification.
The Biosensis Human Mature NGF/proNGF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important NGF isoforms: Mature NGF (BEK-2212) and full-length proNGF (BEK-2226). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature NGF and proNGF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, and plasma (citrate) only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Researchers have used both kits for NGF/proNGF measurement in human urine, however, Biosensis has not yet internally validated the use of urine in both ELISA kits. End-users are strongly advised to perform essential validation experiments to assure accurate NGF/proNGF quantification in human urine. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2212 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2226 (proNGF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples. The Mature NGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proNGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-proNGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature NGF or proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A NGF and proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. The Mature NGF ELISA kit employs a high-quality recombinant human NGF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). The proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant human proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. Note that this Mature NGF/proNGF Combo kit is designed to measure the human protein forms, although due to sequence homology the Mature NGF ELISA kit will detect mouse and rat mature NGF. The proNGF ELISA kit does not cross-react with rodent forms of proNGF. This Combo kit is capable of distinguishing and independently quantifying the mature NGF and full-length NGF isoforms. Internal validation data demonstrates Mossa AH et al. (2020) . The antibodies used in the proNGF ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain of the protein and therefore recognize proNGF and the pro-domain peptide, but do not cross-react with mature NGF! Important: Accurate NGF quantification in human citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-005-500 . Accurate proNGF quantification in human serum requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-003-1000 . Both Heterophilic Antibody Blockers are provided in the kit. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

Specificity:
Mature NGF ELISA: Detects human NGF, and cross-reacts with mouse and rat mature NGF. This mature NGF ELISA preferentially detects mature NGF over full-length proNGF. proNGF ELISA: Detects human proNGF only, does not cross-react with mouse and rat proNGF. Both capture and detection antibodies used in the proNGF ELISA kit binds to epitopes within the pro-domain of proNGF. Thus, the proNGF ELISA detects the full-length form of proNGF, and does not quantify mature NGF.
Typical limit of detection (LOD) for human mature NGF is 2 pg/mL determined as 150% of the blank value. Typical limit of detection (LOD) for human proNGF is < 60 pg/mL, determined as blank value plus 3x standard deviation of blank OD (n=10).

The Biosensis GDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of GDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, and guinea pig serum only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-GDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-GDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of GDNF present in samples and protein standards. This GDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human GDNF standard obtained from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) and is therefore designed to accurately measure the human form of GDNF. Note that the antibodies used in this kit cross-react with guinea pig, rat and mouse GDNF. Guinea pig GDNF has been quantified in serum using the Human GDNF Rapid TM ELISA kit, since guinea pig GDNF protein shares closest amino acid sequence homology with human GDNF. Protein levels can be expressed as human GDNF equivalents. This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

The Biosensis NT3 Rapid TM enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the specific, fast and reliable quantification of NT3 in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and human plasma (EDTA and citrate) only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human plasma. Accurate quantification of NT3 in human plasma requires a heterophilic antibody (HA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-004-500 ). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated polyclonal anti-NT3 capture antibody, a biotinylated monoclonal anti-NT3 detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product, which is directly proportional to the concentration of NT3 present in samples and protein standards. This NT3 Rapid TM ELISA kit employs a recombinant human NT3 standard. NT3 is highly conserved and nearly identical in many species. The assay's capture and detection antibodies detect NT3 from other species including mouse, rat and monkey, thus it is expected that this NT3 Rapid TM ELISA will also react with those species and possibly more because of the conversation of the immunogen used. The antibodies used in this kit bind to epitopes within the mature domain of NT3. Thus, this ELISA kit may detect the full-length pro-form of NT3. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of NT3 standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.

This NT4/5 ELISA kit employs a recombinant human NT4/5 standard. The capture and detection antibodies will also detect NT4/5 from other species due to a high degree of NT4/5 amino acid sequence homology. Therefore, this ELISA kit can be used to quantify NT4/5 in many species including mouse, rat and monkey. The antibodies used in this kit bind to epitopes within the mature domain of NT4/5. Thus, this ELISA kit will quantify the mature form of NT4/5, and may also detect the full-length pro-form of NT4/5. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

No cross-reactivity was observed with brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5 and proNGF protein tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. Due to a high degree of NGF sequence homology, the antibodies used in this kit will also detect NGF from other species including human and mouse! <br><br>Mature NGF (27 kDa) and full-length proNGF (50 kDa) were assayed in parallel at equimolar protein concentrations across the NGF ELISA calibration range (3.9-250 pg/mL; 0.14-9.2 pmol/L). OD readings for proNGF were indistinguishable from the assay's blank OD readings. Data was obtained with the Mouse NGF ELISA kit (BEK-2213) which uses the same assay capture and detection antibodies.
The Biosensis NGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mouse NGF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants and brain extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of NGF present in samples and protein standards. A mouse NGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This NGF ELISA kit is designed to measure mouse NGF and thus employs a mouse NGF standard. The mouse NGF standard supplied has been purified from mouse submaxillary glands according to published procedures. The calibrator standard reflects the native state of mouse NGF protein and has been chosen to give most accurate quantification of natural NGF protein levels in mouse samples. Due to a high degree of NGF sequence homology, the antibodies used in this kit will also detect NGF from other species including human and rat! This ELISA kit preferentially detects the mature form of NGF. Cross- reaction of full-length mouse proNGF was This kit has not been tested for other applications.

Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), pig serum, cell lysates, brain extracts, human milk and Sheep CSF only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples, human milk and CSF. Note that accurate quantification of BDNF in human milk requires a secretory IgA (sIgA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-001-1250 ). For measurement of mature BDNF in CSF samples, please contact us at sales@biosensis.com . This ELISA kit has been tested in independent research laboratories and found to achieve highest reproducibility with intra- and inter-assay CVs as low as 1% and 5%, respectively (Polacchini et al., 2015). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. Extensive validation has demonstrated that the Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA shows only minimal cross-reactivity with proBDNF. Please refer to our Technical Note #5 for further details on ELISA assay validation for BDNF isoform detection and quanification. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures. For in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA), we refer to the CE Marked BDNF ELISA kit (BEK-2211-CE) .

Typical limit of detection (LOD) for BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM). Additional proBDNF cross-reactivity experiments were conducted as summarized in our <a class="newA" target="_blank" href="https://www.biosensis.com/documents/enhancedinfo/Technical-Note-5-Mature-BDNF-Isoform-Detection-and-Quantification-by-ELISA.pdf">Technical Note #5</a>.
The Biosensis CE Marked BDNF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the preferential quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours. This kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of BDNF present in samples and protein standards. This BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). This kit is suitable to measure mature BDNF in human serum and citrate-treated plasma samples only. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the mature domain of the protein and therefore recognize the mature as well as the pro-form of BDNF. However, cross-reactivity to the full-length proBDNF protein is low. This CE Marked BDNF Rapid ELISA [Cat. No. BEK-2211-CE] Kit is approved for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA). It has been developed by Biosensis and is manufactured by Calbiotech Inc. ( www.calbiotech.com ) for Biosensis. BEK-2211-CE is not approved for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the United States. For research on human blood, customers MUST order the catalog number BEK-2211 . This research-use-only ELISA kit can be used for human and animal research purposes worldwide, and has been validated for a wider range of sample types and species.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), pig serum, cell lysates, brain extracts, human milk and Sheep CSF only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples, human milk and CSF. Note that accurate quantification of BDNF in human milk requires a secretory IgA (sIgA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-001-1250 ). For measurement of mature BDNF in CSF samples, please contact us at sales@biosensis.com . This ELISA kit has been tested in independent research laboratories and found to achieve highest reproducibility with intra- and inter-assay CVs as low as 1% and 5%, respectively (Polacchini et al., 2015). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. Extensive validation has demonstrated that the Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA shows only minimal cross-reactivity with proBDNF. Please refer to our Technical Note #5 for further details on ELISA assay validation for BDNF isoform detection and quanification. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures. For in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA), we refer to the CE Marked BDNF ELISA kit (BEK-2211-CE) .

Typical limit of detection (LOD) for BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM). Additional proBDNF cross-reactivity experiments were conducted as summarized in our <a class="newA" target="_blank" href="https://www.biosensis.com/documents/enhancedinfo/Technical-Note-5-Mature-BDNF-Isoform-Detection-and-Quantification-by-ELISA.pdf">Technical Note #5</a>.
