Human Multi-Neurotrophin Screening Rapid ELISA Assay

The Neurotrophin family of growth factors in all mammals including human has four members including Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Neurotrophin 3 (NT3) and Neurotrophin 4/5 (NT4/5) . These are all essential to brain development, maturation and adult function, particularly for cell differentiation, survival, death and synaptic regulation.

The Biosensis Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid 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. 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. The Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid Screening ELISA kit presents a cost-effective way to quickly screen multiple samples. It comes complete with all detection reagents and is ready to use.

This Multi-Neurotrophin Screening kit uses the same antibodies as in the individual Rapid ELISA kits. Each kit has been tested for cross-reactivity with other closely related neurotrophins and no cross-reactivity has been observed at 25 ng/mL of each neurotrophin tested. The antibodies used in this kit detect the mouse and rat form of each neurotrophin, but with varying efficiency depending on the target protein.
