Description
Intended Uses: This Human Adiponectin ELISA kit is designed for quantification of human adiponectin in serum, plasma, adipocyte extract and cell culture media samples.
Principle of the Assay: This assay is a quantitative sandwich ELISA using monoclonal antibodies against human adiponectin. The immunoplate is pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for human adiponectin. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any human adiponectin present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-linked monoclonal antibody specific for human adiponectin is added to the wells. After a final wash step, an HRP substrate solution is added and colour develops in proportion to the amount of human adiponectin bound initially. The assay is stopped and the optical density of the wells determined using a microplate reader. Since the increases in absorbance are directly proportional to the amount of captured human adiponectin, the unknown sample concentration can be interpolated from a reference curve included in each assay
