Used in neuroscience research to detect and quantify Midbrain Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor (MANF) in mouse mesencephalon tissue samples. This kit supports studies on neuroprotection, neuronal survival, and regeneration, particularly in models of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. It enables researchers to monitor MANF expression levels under various experimental conditions, assess the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, and investigate the role of MANF in endoplasmic reticulum stress response and inflammation in the central nervous system. The assay is valuable for preclinical studies involving neurotrophic factors and brain-derived biomolecules.
