Description
This Human Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Rapid ELISA Kit is intended is a fast ELISA kit, this assay takes less than 1.5 hours to detect Human GDF15 with <10pg/ml sensitivity. format: 96-well plate with removable strips. Compatible samples: cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). This is a TMB colorimetric sandwich ELISA kit with short assay time and fast experiment set up. GDF15 tissue specificity: Highly expressed in placenta, with lower levels in prostate and colon and some expression in kidney. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.
This human GDF-15 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for GDF-15 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (CHO, A197-I308) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for GDF-15 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 GDF-15 amount of sample captured in plate.
The capture antibody is monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: GDF-15 (Growth differentiation factor 15),also known as TGF-PL, MIC-1, PDF, PLAB, and PTGFB, is a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that has a role in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in injured tissues and during disease processes. Using FISH, the MIC1 gene is mapped to 19p13.2-p13.1. Its expression in liver can be significantly up-regulated in during injury of organs such as liver, kidney, heart and lung. GDF15 showed increased expression and secretion during erythroblast maturation. GDF15 functions as an antiinflammatory cytokine by directly interfering with chemokine signaling and integrin activation
