  • Product overview

    Human BDNF ELISA Kit (ab212166) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of BDNF protein in cell culture supernatant, serum, cit plasma, edta plasma, and hep plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human BDNF with 2.4 pg/ml sensitivity.


    SimpleStep ELISA® technology 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. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:


            - Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
            - High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
            - Fully validated in biological samples
            - 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips


    A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

  • Notes

    BDNF (Brain derived neurotrophic factor) is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors that includes nerve growth factor. BDNF is expressed as a proprotein that is cleaved to form mature BDNF (residues 129-247). This assay measures mature BDNF. Mature BDNF protein sequence is identical between human, mouse, rat and many additional species. BDNF binds to at least 2 receptors: TrkB and LNGFR.

  • Platform

    Pre-coated microplate (12 x 8 well strips)

    SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

    Interpolated concentrations of native BDNF in human serum, and plasma samples

    The concentrations of BDNF were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the BDNF standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 10%, plasma (citrate) 10%, plasma (EDTA) 10%, and plasma (heparin) 10%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean BDNF concentration was determined to be 954 pg/mL in serum, 2,189 pg/mL in plasma (citrate), 690 pg/mL in plasma (EDTA) and 856 pg/mL in plasma (heparin).

    L929 cells were grown in the absence (unstimulated) or presence of Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (stimulated) for 3 days. BDNF was measured in 2-fold diluted cell culture supernatants of unstimulated and PMA/PHA stimulated L929 and cell culture media. Measured values were interpolated from the BDNF Standard Curve diluted in Sample Diluent NS and corrected for dilution factor. Mean of duplicate values +/-SD are graphed: 2.3 pg/mL unstimulated, 50 pg/mL stimulated, and undetectable in media.

ab212166 - Human BDNF ELISA Kit-Use in marmoset plasma

 Inconclusive Good 4/5 (Ease of Use)
Abreviews
abreview image
I have used the BDNF ELISA kit on proteins isolated from marmoset plasma(heparin). The samples were undiluted and diluted 1:2 and 1:4. I did not detect the BDNF in the sample of marmoset. However, I was able to detect in the same condition with the rat plasma. And, I tried to lengthen discrimination time, but was not able to detect in the plasma of the marmoset. I think that the BDNF ELISA kit ab212166 can not work for BDNF detection in marmoset sample.

ab212166 - Human BDNF ELISA Kit-Use in rats brain tissue

 Good Excellent 5/5 (Ease of Use)
Abreviews
abreview image
I have used the BDNF elisa kit on proteins isolated from rat brain (hippocampus). In order to create the same conditions in both standard and samples i add 100 micro-liters of lysis buffer to the standard stock (lysis buffer- 200mM EDTA, 100mM tris,IGEPAL,Protease Inhibitor and Phosphatase Inhibitor in DDW). The samples were diluted 1:10 in order to minimize lysis buffer interference with the assay. The detection of BDNF in the samples was good as well as the standard curve which was accurate (despite the lysis buffer ). I think that the BDNF elisa kit ab212166 can defiantly work for BDNF detection in brain tissue lysats
