Description
This is a colorimetric competitive immunoassay kit for the quantitative determination of intracellular cAMP in cells or tissues lysed in 0.1 M HCl, which is used to stop endogenous phosphodiesterase activity and stabilize the released cyclic AMP. The 0.1M HCl treated samples are then analyzed directly in a microtiter plate without extraction, drying and reconstitution. Sensitivity is increased >10-fold by acetylation (reagents included). Absorbance is read at 405 nm. The large signal-to-background ratio offers superior sensitivity compared to competitors. This kit lets you easily assess adenylyl cyclase activation by GPCRs
