A sensitive, capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CELISA) has been applied to the accurate and reproducible measurement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein in normal human blood platelets, a mean concentration of 1.03 +/- 0.04 ng (SEM)/mg of platelet protein being observed. The method, which requires only 10 ml blood, is now suitable for the investigation of a variety of clinical disorders.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001792 Blood Platelets Non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. They are mainly involved in blood coagulation. Platelets,Thrombocytes,Blood Platelet,Platelet,Platelet, Blood,Platelets, Blood,Thrombocyte
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D019208 Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor A member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors. In the brain BDNF has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons.
