| Standard curve range | 4.1 - 1,000 pg/mL |
|---|---|
| Specificity | mBDNF* |
| Sample | Human serum and plasma** |
| Sample volume | Human serum:10 μL Human plasma: 5 μL |
| Assay time | 4 hours |
| Detection method | Colorimetric method |
* Approximately 10% reaction to proBDNF
** This antibody can also detect mouse and rat BDNF.


This kit is a sandwich ELISA using mBDNF monoclonal antibody and mBDNF polyclonal antibody. The kit has low cross-reactivity to proBDNF(approx. 10%) because the monoclonal antibody reacts with N-terminal cutting surface of mBDNF.
