Application
Analytes: Apelin (APLN), Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Erythropoeitin (EPO), Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3 (FABP3), Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21), Fractalkine (CX3CL1), Follistatin-Like 1 Protein (FSTL-1), IL-6, IL-15, Irisin, Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), Myostatin (MSTN/GDF8), Oncostatin M (OSM), Osteocrin (OSTN/Musclin), Osteonectin (SPARC) Recommended Sample Type: Human serum, plasma, and cell/tissue culture supernatants or lysates NOTE: Substantial amounts of BDNF are stored in circulating platelets and subsequently released upon platelet activation. Therefore, platelet-poor plasma is critical to ensure accurate measurement of circulating levels of BDNF. Recommended Sample Dilution: 25 µL per well of 1:2 diluted serum or plasma. Cell/tissue culture samples may be run neat or appropriately diluted in control media. Assay Run Time: Overnight (16-18 hours) at 2-8°C or 2 hours at room temperature (20-25°C) Research Category: Bone Research Subcategory: Metabolism
Features and Benefits
Design your multiplex kit by choosing available analytes within this panel.
General description
Muscle contraction during physical activity is an important activator of the release of the myokines. Myokines not only act in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner in regulation of skeletal muscle growth, but they also act as endocrine hormones to mediate inter-organ crosstalk. The myokine theory provides molecular mechanistic explanations for exercise-induced metabolic changes in liver and adipose tissue and for the profound changes found in immune and neuronal systems. MILLIPLEX® Human Myokine Panel is a15-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in human serum,plasma and cell/tissue supernatant samples: Fractalkine/CX3CL1, BDNF, Oncostatin M (OSM), Osteonectin (SPARC), LIF, FGF-21, Erythropoietin (EPO), IL-15, IL-6, Apelin, Myostatin/GDF8, Irisin, Osteocrin/Musclin, FABP3 and Follistatin-Like Protein (FSTL 1). This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex® xMAP® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
