Background of Bdnf

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a prosurvival factor induced by cortical neurons that is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. It is a secreted protein with the molecular weight of 27.8kDa, consisting of 247 amino acids. It is known to promote neuronal survival and differentiation. BDNF shares substantial amino acid sequence identity with nerve growth factor (NGF). BDNF and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) are two recently cloned neurotrophic factors that are homologous to NGF. mRNA products of the BDNF and NT-3 genes are detected in the adult human brain, suggesting that these proteins are involved in the maintenance of the adult nervous system. BDNF and other neurotrophins are critically involved in long-term potentiation (LTP). BDNF-mediated LTP is induced postsynaptically. BDNF has trophic effects on serotonergic (5-HT) neurons in the central nervous system. BDNF has an essential maintenance function in the regulation of anxiety-related behavior and in food intake through central mediators in both the basal and fasted state. It plays a role in treating breathing disorders such as respiratory insufficiency after spinal injury. The mature form of BDNF is identical in all mammals examined, and the gene encoding human BDNF to chromosome 11, band p13.

"The kit was used to quantify amount of BDNF produced after transfection with plasmid DNA encoding human BDNF using non viral vector, liposomes. Provided good reliable quantification of BDNF produced. No interference. Good reproducibility. Reliable estimation, good sensitivity. Reasonable price as well. Would purchase again." (Customer’s Tip: "Don't dilute sample, assay directly.")

Question

Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification Bdnf using the EK0307 Human Bdnf Picokine® ELISA Kit?

B. Gandhi

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-03

Answer

A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may affect the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.

Question

My samples have highly concentrated levels of BDNF and require more than normal dilution. Can you provide any extra (~ 90 mL) sample diluent? Do you sell the diluent separately?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-02-12

Answer

Yes, we sell the diluent separately (Boster Catalog# AR1106-1). In fact, the sample diluent buffer in the kit is generally enough. For instance, if the dilution ratio is 1:20000, it is not necessary to dilute the samples at 1:20000 in just one step. Instead, we suggest you sequentially dilute the samples: 1:100, 1.200, etc. That way, you can use less diluent buffer.

Question

Which isoform (mature or precursor) does this ELISA assay detect? I am also wondering if the dimer form of mature BDNF can be detection by ELISA.

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-12-23

Answer

The assay recognizes both of mature and precursor isoforms of BDNF and can detect the dimer form. So, this detects total BDNF.

Question

Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-09-17

Answer

A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question

I am interested in performing Western Blot (WB) using the antibodies from your human and mouse BDNF ELISA kits. Is it possible to order the primary antibody (the capture antibody) that is pre-coated in the wells for the sandwich ELISA? (In this case that would be the monoclonal antibody from rat for the mouse kit, and the monoclonal antibody from mouse for the human kit). Is it also possible to order your secondary antibody which is the biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for BDNF?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-08-28

Answer

The antibodies used in those ELISA kits are not fully validated on WB. Also, since these antibodies are made from recombinant proteins, they are often less reactive to retrieved antigens in WB or IHC due to the lack of tertiary structure in the retrieved antigens. If you want to test human and mouse BDNF with WB, please use our anti-BDNF antibody (PB9075). Further, you can separately buy our secondary antibodies.

Hello Support: I would like to ask if this antibody Human BDNF ELISA Kit PicoKine would quantify and detect BDNF in cerebrospinal fluid, not only in plasma or cell culture.

Verified Customer

Asked: 2019-06-14

Answer

The product Human BDNF ELISA Kit PicoKine has not been tested in cerebrospinal fluid, it is only validated in with plasma, serum and cell culture, however, this kit is very accommodating to many different samples types, so cerebrospinal fluid will most likely work

Question

Q: Can Bdnf ELISA Kits be used with tissue homogenates (or other non-validated sample types)?

T. Puri

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-01-24

Answer

A: Unfortunately, Boster Bio has not routinely validated tissue homogenates as a sample type for ELISA kits. This does not mean that ELISA kits are not valid for other sample types than we have tested: it means further investigation is required. One will need to perform a spike and recovery study to determine if an unvalidated sample type will work with a particular kit. To perform a spike and recovery experiment, one should divide a sample into two aliquots. In one of the aliquots, the user should spike in a known amount of the kit standard. a dilution series is performed comparing the spiked versus the unspiked sample. Generally, samples with expected recovery and linearity between 80-120% are considered acceptable. This method can be used to validate any sample type that has not been assessd by Boster Bio. for a more detailed spike and recovery protocol, please contact technical support.
Note: acceptable ranges should be determined individually by each laboratory. Additionally, technical support can help determine if a buffer component is not compatible with a given ELISA kit. please view the Citations tab on the product webpage for peer-reviewed papers utilizing a wide range of sample types. We also have an innovator's reward program where if the user validates our ELISA kits in applications or samples previously not validated by Boster Bio or other users, and share such information with us by submit a review, we will reward the user's efforts with a free antibody or ELISA kit from our catalog. Biocompare.com will also give $20 Amazon giftcard as an additional reward, if the review is submitted there as well.
