General description

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.
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.

Specificity

The antibody pair used in this assay measures Human S100B and has no cross-reactivity with S100A1, S100A6 and S100A13.

This assay detects S100B in multiple species, including: bovine, hamster, horse, monkey, mouse, pig, rabbit, and rat.

Despite many children experiencing fatigue after childhood brain injury, little is known about the predictors of this complaint. To date, traditional indices of traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity have not predicted reliably persisting fatigue (up to three years post-injury). This
