specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of rat BDNF. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between rat BDNF and analogues was observed.
storage stability :
Unopened test kits should be stored at 2 to 8 degree C upon receipt. Please refer to pdf manual for further storage instructions.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates. Assay Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 0.312 ng/ml -20 ng/ml. Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of rat BDNF is typically less than 0.078 ng/ml. The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined the mean O.D value of 20 replicates of the zero standard added by their three standard deviations.
other info2 :
Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%. Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%. Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
products description :
Principle of the assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for BDNF has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any BDNF present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for BDNF is added to the wells. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of BDNF bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

ncbi summary :
plays a role in the development of hippocampal long term potentiation; involved in regulation of synaptic plasticity [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
Function: During development, promotes the survival and differentiation of selected neuronal populations of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Participates in axonal growth, pathfinding and in the modulation of dendritic growth and morphology. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS
