Description
Description: This Human Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate VCAM1 in samples. An antibody specific for VCAM1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any VCAM1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for VCAM1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of VCAM1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
