DescriptionSMC™ Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The Erenna® and SMCxPRO™ immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology.
Background InformationBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein made by neuronal cells critical for the growth and functioning of neurons as well as binding at synapses to improve signal strength between neurons. While sufficient levels of BDNF promote the function and growth of brain cells and neurons, a decrease in BDNF levels can lead to impaired neurological function and is associated with diseases such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, schizophrenia and depression.
