      We add more goat antibodies to high value targets, namely to 2'-5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNP), GPCA-CNP, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) GPCA-GFAP, and mCherry GPCA-mCherry. Antibodies to CNP are excellent markers of myelin sheathes, GFAP antibodies label astrocytes, neural stem cells and a few other nervous system cells while mCherry is a widely used genetically encoded fluorescent tracer. Also another scientific paper performed using EnCor antibodies with the described assays run in the EnCor Lab, Holmström et al. 2020. This paper measures the levels of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain (pNF-H), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) and GFAP in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera of recovering spinal cord injury patients and concludes that pNF-H and GFAP levels particularly in CSF may be useful for future monitoring of damage, secondary injury and response to treatment in these patients.
