Abstract(s)
O Factor Neurotrófico Derivado do Cérebro (BDNF) está associado a processos de crescimento, diferenciação e sobrevivência das células neuronais. A expressão diferencial do BDNF, particularmente no hipocampo, está relacionada com a manifestação clínica de algumas doenças do foro psiquiátrico e cognitivo como a doença de Huntington, Alzheimer, depressão e esquizofrenia.
Este trabalho pretende dar conhecimento das técnicas utilizadas para avaliar a expressão do gene BDNF. As técnicas de ELISA, IHC e Western blot, por permitirem a avaliação precisa da expressão de BDNF, são úteis para uma melhor compreensão, diagnóstico e tratamento de algumas doenças neurodegenerativas.
