  • BDNF detection using Western blot
    Yves Barde
    Published on: 09 January 2017

    Page navigation anchor for BDNF detection using Western blot
    BDNF detection using Western blot
    • Yves Barde, Researcher, Cardiff University

    While I find this report to be of interest I am unsure about the data related to the quantification of BDNF by Western blot. Given its very low abundance, the detection and quantification of BDNF is notoriously difficult and its is unclear if BDNF can be reliably detected at all in the mouse retina by WB. Like most commercially available BDNF antibodies, AB1779SP used here has not been thoroughly validated and the apparent molecular weight illustrated in the corresponding data sheet is not as expected. Are BDNF mRNA data available to better appreciate the degree of over-expression of BDNF, even if BDNF protein data would be more relevant in principle ?
    Thank you.
