Mouse Midkine (Mdk) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is designed for the precise measurement of midkine levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. The kit targets Mouse Midkine (Mdk), a secreted protein that functions as a cytokine and growth factor and is involved in processes such as cell growth, survival, differentiation, adhesion, proliferation, migration, inflammatory response, and tissue regeneration. Midkine has been implicated in cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders, making it a useful biomarker for studying these conditions in mouse models.

Using a colorimetric detection method, the assay provides a detection range of 78-5000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 39.6pg/mL. Reported precision values are an intra-assay CV of 6.4% and an inter-assay CV of 8.3%. Recovery has been validated in serum (average 87%, range 81-93%) and plasma (average 89%, range 83-95%). The kit recognises natural and recombinant mouse Midkine and is intended for use with mouse samples including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.

Synonyms associated with the target include retanoic acid-responsive protein, retinoic acid-induced differentiation factor, MK, and Mk. With its reliable performance, this kit from Assay Genie supports investigation of midkine's role in a range of physiological and pathological processes.
