Recovery for Human CNTF Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of CNTF spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=5) 99 92-115
Citrate Plasma (n=5) 87 71-125
EDTA Plasma (n=5) 90 78-97
Heparin Plasma (n=5) 92 82-98
Serum (n=5) 95 85-101

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of CNTF in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: CNTF

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is structurally related to IL-6, IL-11, LIF, CLC, and OSM. CNTF was initially identified as a trophic factor for embryonic chick ciliary parasympathetic neurons in culture. Subsequent studies have demonstrated that CNTF is a survival factor for additional neuronal cell types, including dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons, sympathetic ganglion neurons, embryonic motor neurons, major pelvic ganglion neurons and hippocampal neurons.
