Rabbit Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) ELISA Kit

Quantify Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) in rabbit specimens with this immunoassay kit from Assay Genie. CNTF is a neurotrophic cytokine that supports the survival and differentiation of motor neurons, sensory neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. It signals through the CNTFRα/gp130/LIFRβ receptor complex and activates JAK/STAT pathways, and it is a target of interest in studies of nerve injury, axotomy recovery, retinal ganglion cell protection, glial scar formation, and models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and metabolic regulation.

The kit is configured as a complete microplate-based assay and provides the reagents needed for quantification in rabbit-derived samples. Standards and prepared samples are added to the pre-coated plate, bound CNTF is captured with an enzyme-linked antibody, and after substrate addition absorbance is read on a standard plate reader. Reconstituted reagents should be kept refrigerated and protected from light, and working solutions should be brought to room temperature before each step.

Each kit includes a detailed protocol, pre-coated microplate wells, lyophilized standard, detection antibody concentrate, dilution buffers, wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. Intended for research use only in laboratory settings studying neurobiology, ophthalmology, or nerve repair.
