Human S100B ELISA, EZHS100B-33K

Descrição detalhada : S100B is a calcium-binding protein produced mainly by astrocytes in the central nervous system and has been implicated in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Although the mechanism of S100B secretion is unknown, it appears to be affected by oxidative stress. At nanomolar concentrations (normal levels), S100B is able to protect neurons against glutamate toxicity. Glial damage or astrocytic reactions to neural injury (reactive astrogliosis) causes an increase in S100B to micromolar concentrations. High levels of S100B will further increase neuronal damage. High levels of S100B are considered a biomarker that could indicate damage or dysfunction of CNS., EMD Millipore's Human S100B ELISA kit is to be used for the quantification of human S100B in cerebrospinal fluid, serum and plasma. This kit has not been tested for cell culture supernatants.
