TrkB Fc reduces the levels of BDNF present in CM. (A) HUCPVC conditioned media was incubated with TrkB Fc and the levels of BDNF were determined by the Bioplex-Luminex assay. Our results show that TrkB Fc is able to cause a reduction of approximately 25% in the levels of BDNF in CM (74.37 ± 1.86), comparatively to CM (100.0 ± 3.35) proving that TrkB Fc is able to significantly deplete BDNF from CM. (B) BDNF concentration in CM is 37 pg/ml. On the other hand, the presence of TrkB Fc, reduces the levels of BDNF present in CM to approximately 27 pg/ml. BDNF levels were measured using a MILLIPLEX Kit. *Represents p = 0.0216 by Mann Whitney unpaired t-test when compared to CM.
