Description
General description
Cellular stress and structural damage in the brain are reflected in specific protein signatures. GFAP signals astrocyte activation and blood-brain barrier disruption. UCHL1, a neuron-specific enzyme, increases after traumatic brain injury. α-Synuclein, central to Parkinson′s pathology, affects synaptic function and aggregates into Lewy bodies. DJ1 (PARK7) mitigates oxidative stress, while NSE and TGM2 track neuronal integrity and cellular resilience.
Application
MILLIPLEX® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 6 analytes in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Analytes included: α-Synuclein, DJ1/PARK7, Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Neuron specific enolase (NSE), Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (UCHL1/PARK5).
Assay Characteristics: Refer to kit protocol for assay cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.
Features and Benefits
Comprehensive Neurological Assessment: Simultaneously quantify six critical biomarkers spanning neuronal damage, glial activation, and protein aggregation pathways, providing complete neurological dysfunction profiling in cerebrospinal fluid samples.
Parkinson′s Disease Research Focus: Leverage specialized biomarkers including α-synuclein and DJ1/PARK7 that are directly implicated in Parkinson′s pathology, enabling targeted research into movement disorders and synucleinopathies.
CSF-Optimized Performance: Specifically designed and verified for cerebrospinal fluid analysis, ensuring accurate quantification of brain-derived biomarkers in this challenging but clinically relevant sample matrix.
Cross-Condition Biomarker Power: Utilize markers relevant to traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuroinflammation, maximizing research versatility across diverse neurological conditions and study designs.
Configurable Panel Flexibility: Design your ideal research solution by selecting any combination of the 6 analytes, creating tailored assays that perfectly align with your specific neurological research objectives.
