- Characteristics
- Biological properties: Protein is biologically active. Suitable for cell culture and in vivo testing. Biological activity of human CDNF was tested in rat 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease and shown to be both neuroprotective and neurorestorative (for methods see: Lindholm et al. 2007, Voutilainen et al. 2011)

-
Purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration from serum-free CHO growth media.
Protein is sterile-filtrated through 0.22 µg filter.
Purified human CDNF is characterized as homogenous material by mass-spectroscopy. - Endotoxin Level
- Less than 1EU/µg of protein as determined by LAL method

- Background
- CDNF is a trophic factor for midbrain dopamine neurons in vivo. It prevents the 6-OHDA- (Lindholm et al. 20007, Voutilainen et al., 2011) and MPTP-induced degeneration (Airavaara et al., 2012) of dopamine neurons in rodent models of Parkinson’s disease. When administered after 6-OHDA or MPTP –lesioning it restores the dopaminergic function and prevents degeneration of dopamine neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta.
