Gene info
Midkine exhibits neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and may play a role in nervous system development and/or maintenance. Its expression is predominant only for a short period from approximately one-half to two-thirds of the way through gestation; before and after that, it is barely detectable. Midkine was first found in differentiating mouse teratocarcinoma cells. It has neurotrophic activities and is mitogenic to certain, but not to all, fibroblast cell lines.

Antibody advice
ELISA:To detect hMidkine by direct ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.15 - 0.30 ug/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 ng/well of recombinant hMidkine.Sandwich:To detect hMidkine by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 ug/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our Polyclonal Anti-Human Midkine (XP-5230) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMidkine. Western Blot:To detect hMidkine by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 ug/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hMidkine is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
