Interpolated concentrations of spiked CNTF in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant samples.

The concentrations of CNTF were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the CNTF standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : serum 12.5%, plasma (citrate) 12.5%, plasma (EDTA) 12.5%, plasma (heparin) 12.5% and cell culture media 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Product details

Human CNTF ELISA Kit ab264608 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human CNTF in cell culture media, CSF, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 6.42 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human CNTF SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Human CNTF ELISA Kit ab264608 protocol summary

1. Mix: add samples/standards to the wells together with the capture and detector antibody cocktail. Incubate 1 hr at room temperature
2. Wash
3. Add TMB development solution - incubate for 10 min
4. Add Stop solution
5. Read the results on a plate reader at 450 nm

Design your own immunoassay

We offer the antibody pair used in this kit in a BSA and Azide-free format, ready for conjugation:

- Anti-CNTF antibody [EPR22450-107] - BSA and Azide free (Capture) ab267430
- Anti-CNTF antibody [EPR22450-164] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab267430

Human Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a single chain polypeptide of 22.7 kDa. CNTF has been found to be a member of a limited family of neuropoietic cytokines that also includes Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and Oncostatin M. This family of cytokines are characterized by four distinctive ?-helical folds commonly associated with growth hormone. CNTF has been hypothesized to be a target-derived differentiation factor for developing neurons and glial cells. CNTF that is retained intracellularly has been suggested to be a lesion-associated molecule, providing damaged neurons with trophic or survival support following injury. Human CNTF shows 76.6% and 77.4% sequence homology with mouse and rat, respectively.
