The aim of this experiment was to quantify BDNF in rat's hippocampus, and we used frozen tissue for our experiments. We selected this kit by appointment of another researcher.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Quantifying BDNF in rat hippocampus

Starting Material

Frozen tissue

Protocol Overview

1) Coat well with antibody Anti-BDNF mAb (incubate without shaking at 4ºC), and wash once; 2) Block nonspecific binding with block and sample buffer 1X (1hr, at room temperature without shaking), and wash once; 3) Incubate immobilized anti-BDNF mAb with BDNF standard or samples (2hr, at room temperature with shaking), and wash 5X; 4) Incubate with Anti-Human BDNF pAb (2hr, at room temperature), and wash 5X; 5) Incubate Anti-IgY HRP conjugate with shaking (1hr, at room temperature), and wash 5X; 6) Incubate with TMB One solution with shaking for 10 minutes, at room temperature, and stop reaction with 1N HCL, and detect color in plate reader.

Tips

Pay attention: this kit will detect pro-BDNF or BDNF, it depends on how do you process your samples

Results Summary

The standard curve was ok, the detection range is 15,6-500 pg/ml. The r² was equal to 0,99181.

Summary

The Good

Easy to work with

The Bad

It would be nice if it comes with some information about sample dilution

The Bottom Line

The kit is very good, but it would be very helpful if it comes with information about sample dilution, so you don't have to waste material, time and money.
