| GDNF

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a protein that is encoded by the GDNF gene.GDNF is a small protein that potently promotes the survival of many types of neurons.It signals through GFRα receptors, particularly GFRα1. It is also responsible for the determination of spermatogonia into primary spermatocytes, i.e. it is received by RET proto-oncogene (RET) and by forming gradient with SCF it divides the spermatogonia into two cells. As the result there is retention of spermatogonia and formation of spermatocyte.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	2000	1000	500	250	125	62.5	31.25	0
OD	2.28	1.63	1.04	0.69	0.45	0.3	0.22	0.09
Corrected OD	2.19	1.54	0.95	0.6	0.36	0.21	0.13	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse GDNF spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-103	98
Plasma(n=8)	92-106	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse GDNF and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	87-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	92	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
