Rat bdnf elisa kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Rat BDNF ELISA kit is a quantitative assay used to measure the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rat samples. The kit utilizes the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique to detect and quantify the target analyte.

The perfusates were also collected from the IAS SMCs, SmP, and MP, collected before and after 40 mM KCl, before and after TTX.
Total BDNF levels were measured using rat BDNF ELISA Kit (Cat # ERBDNF, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific), in triplicate, according to the manufacturer’s instructions as previously described.1 (link), 45 (link) Initially, 100 μl of standards and samples at RT were added to each well and incubated for 2.5 h. Assay diluent served as a zero standard (0 pg/ml) for background subtraction to construct a standard curve.
Following standard curves analysis (in triplicate), the optical density or absorbance of each well was measured using an automated ELISA plate reader (Spectra Max®-Multi Microplate Reader, Molecular Devices) at 450 nm and 550 nm, within 30 min of adding the stop solution. Absorbance values of 550 nm were subtracted from 450 nm to correct for the optical density. BDNF values (in pg/ml) in test samples were calculated using the standard curve.

Following manufacturer guidelines, a Rat BDNF Elisa Kit (Thermo ScientificTM, Waltham, MA, USA) quantified brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [71 (link)]. Briefly, 70 μL of standard and 70 μL of the sample were mixed in 96-well plates on a horizontal shaker for 2.5 h at room temperature, away from light. After thoroughly washing the plate with 1× wash buffer, it was allowed to dry upside down on a paper towel. Subsequently, 70 μL of 1× prepared biotinylated detection antibody was added to each well, followed by incubation for 45 min at room temperature with gentle shaking. After 45 min of HRP-conjugated streptavidin incubation, 66.7 μL of TMB substrate solution was added for 30 min, followed by 33.7 μL of stop solution to stop the reaction. A spectrometer (Infinite 200 Pro MPlex, Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland) measured absorbance at 450 nm and computed BDNF concentration by comparing findings to the standard curve. Results are presented as mean ± SD (%) vs. control cells (0% line).

Levels of BDNF were determined using Thermo Scientific’s Rat BDNF ELISA kit per the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the sample (100 µl) was added to its appropriate well, and incubated for 2.5 h at room temperature. The solution was discarded, and the wells were washed 4 times with 1× Wash Buffer. Next, 100 µl of 1× prepared biotinylated antibody was added to each well and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with gentle shaking. 100 µl of prepared Streptavidin-HRP solution was then added to each well and incubated for 45 min at room temperature with gentle shaking. The solution was than discarded and the wells were washed 4 times with 1× Wash Buffer. Finally, 100 µl of TMB Substrate was added to each well and incubated for 30 min at room temperature in the dark with gentle shaking. Each plate was evaluated within 30 min of stopping the reaction. Optical density OD values were measured at the wavelength of 450 nm, and the OD values of supernatant and serum in hippocampal homogenate were measured using a multi-function enzyme labelling analyzer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
