General description

The Human CNTF ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human CNTF in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.

Immunogen

Recombinant Human CNTF

Application

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is part of the cytokine family. It signals through the glycoprotein 130 and LIF receptor β subunit. The protein has neuroprotective effects and activates astrocytes. CNTF also has a role in the differentiation of neural stem cells and is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis.

To investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of non-c-Myc induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) transplantation in a rat model of retinal oxidative damage. Paraquat was intravitreously injected into Sprague-Dawley rats. After non-c-Myc iPSC transplantation, retinal function was evaluated by electroretinograms (ERGs).
