Description
Intended Uses: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of IRS2 in rat tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.
Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to IRS2. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to IRS2. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain IRS2, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 10nm. The concentration of IRS2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve
