Assay Principle
This single-incubation sandwich ELISA quantifies human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (gene GDNF) in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). The strips are coated with an anti-tag antibody. Samples and standards are added to the wells together with the kit’s antibody cocktail (Antibody A and Antibody B); the resulting antibody–target complex is held on the plate through the tag. After washing, TMB substrate is added and the HRP label on the detection antibody converts it to a colored product in proportion to the bound target. The reaction is stopped and the plate is read at 450 nm. The supplier markets the Quick format as a 90-minute assay.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a secreted growth factor that strongly supports the survival of dopaminergic and motor neurons. It binds the coreceptor GFRα1 and signals through the RET tyrosine kinase. GDNF is also required for kidney development and spermatogonial stem cell maintenance, and it is studied in Parkinson's disease research.
