Description
Intended Uses: This sandwich kit is for the accurate quantitative detection of Human Growth Differentiation Factor 5 (also known as GDF5) in serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, cell lysates, tissue homogenates.
Principles of the Assay: This kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The plate has been pre-coated with Human GDF5 antibody. GDF5 present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the wells. And then biotinylated Human GDF5 Antibody is added and binds to GDF5 in the sample. Then Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated GDF5 antibody. After incubation unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human GDF5. The reaction is terminated by addition of acidic stop solution and absorbance is measured at 450 nm
