Specification:96TestDescription:
Neurturin, a potent neurotrophic factor, was purified from Chinese hamster ovary cell- conditioned media by Kotzbauer et al. (1996). It is closely related to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). NRTN and GDNF form a distinct TGF-beta subfamily, referred to as TRNs (for 'TGF-beta-related neurotrophins…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Neukocyte alkaline phosphatase (NAP) the isozyme of alkaline phosphatase occurring in the leukocytes, specifically in the neutrophils; LAP activity is used in the differential diagnosis of neutrophilia, being lowered in chronic myelogenous leukemia but elevated in a variety of other disorders.
an enzyme present in…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Nerve growth factor (NGF), a naturally occurring molecule in the body which stimulates the growth and differentiation of the sympathetic and certain sensory nerves. NGF is a protein that consists of 3 types of polypeptide chains -- alpha, beta and gamma -- that interact to form the protein. The NGF beta chain (NGFB…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine) is extracted by using a cis-diol-specific affinity gel, acylated and then derivatized enzymatically. The competitive ELISA kit uses the microtiter plate format. The antigen is bound to the solid phase of the microtiter plate. The derivatized standards, controls and samples and the…

Specification:96TestDescription:
PAI-2 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunoassay for the determination of human PAI-2 (plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2) in human biological fluids. The lower detection limit of the assay is 50 pg PAI-2/mL of sample. This assay detects the low molecular weight (48 kD) form found in placental tissue and the high…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Neurotensin is a 13 amino acid neuropeptide that is implicated in the regulation of luteinizing hormone and prolactin release and has significant interaction with the dopaminergic system. Neurotensin was first isolated from extracts of bovine hypothalamus based on its ability to cause a visible vasodilation in the…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Infection with Mumps virus causes fever, headache, and swelling and tenderness of the salivary glands. Most adults born before 1957 have been infected naturally and are probably immune. Mumps can occur in unimmunized children, or adolescents and young adults who graduated from school prior to the law requiring…

Specification:96TestDescription:
MPIF-1 (Myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1) is also called Chemokine-beta-8, MIP-3-beta, or ELC. It is a highly basic protein (pI > 9) that is processed from a longer proprotein at the N-terminus. The protein exist as monomers under a variety of solution conditions. The factor is chemotactic for resting T-…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a peroxidase enzyme most abundantly present in neutrophil granulocytes (a subtype of white blood cells). It is a lysosomal protein stored in azurophilic granules of the neutrophil. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) has a heme pigment, which causes its green color in secretions rich in neutrophils, such…

Specification:96TestDescription:
The melanocyte-stimulating hormones (collectively referred to as MSH or intermedins) are a class of peptide hormones that in nature are produced by cells in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. They were first isolated by the Yale professor Aaron B. Lerner. Synthetic analogs of these naturally occurring…
