Description
This Canine Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 High-Sensitivity ELISA Kit is intended is a high-sensitivity sandwich ELISA kit for quantitative detection of Dog Canine BMP-2. 96wells/kit, with removable strips. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.
This Canine BMP-2 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for BMP-2 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (CHO, Q283-R396) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for BMP-2 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 Canine BMP-2 amount of sample captured in plate.
The capture antibody is monoclonal antibody from rat, the detection antibody is polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2, BMP 2A) belongs to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. It is thought to be involved in cartilage and bone formation during embryogenesis, but may have additional functions in morphogenesis as implied by its expression in various organs and embryonic tissues of mice. BMP-2 has been identified as a candidate mediator of retinoid activity. BMP-2 protein induces medulloblastoma cell apoptosis, whereas the BMP-2 antagonist noggin blocks both retinoid and BMP-2-induced apoptosis. BMP-2 also induces p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), which is necessary for BMP-2 and retinoid-induced apoptosis. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote osteogenesis, and clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate the ability of certain BMPs to promote fracture-healing and spinal fusion. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant Dog Canine BMP-2, constituting dimer by two chains of 114 amino acids with the molecular mass of 26KDa
