Description
Aviva Systems Biology Krt13 ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKEH06610) is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-Krt13 antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated Krt13 and incubated. The Krt13 found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated Krt13 for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-Krt13 antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated Krt13 and sample or standard Krt13 is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated Krt13 captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of Krt13 which was contained in the sample or standard
