Description
This Human Cystatin SN (CST1) ELISA Kit is intended for Quantitative Detection of human Cystatin SN/CST1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA), saliva and urine. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.
This human Cystatin SN/CST1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Cystatin SN/CST1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard: NSO, Immunogen sequence: W21-S141) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Cystatin SN/CST1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human Cystatin SN/CST1 amount of sample captured in plate.
The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Cystatin-SN is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST1 gene. The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions, where they appear to provide protective functions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a cysteine proteinase inhibitor found in saliva, tears, urine, and seminal fluid
