Description
Background: MIP is a member of the aquaporin family of membrane-bound water channels. MIP family proteins are thought to contain 6 TM domains. Sequence analysis suggests that the proteins may have arisen through tandem, intragenic duplication from an ancestral protein that contained 3 TM domains. Major intrinsic protein(MIP, also called MP26) is the predominant fiber cell membrane protein of the ocular lens. The major intrinsic protein(MIP) of the vertebrate eye lens is the first identified member of a sequence-related family of cell-membrane proteins that appears to have evolved by gene duplication. Several members of the MIP family transport water(aquaporins), glycerol and other small molecules in microbial, plant and animal cells. The standard used in this kit is recombinant mouse MIP-2(A28-N100), consisting of 73 amino acids with the molecular mass of 8KDa.
Principle of the Assay: The Quick Picokine™ Mouse Cxcl2 Pre-Coated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is a solid phase immunoassay specially designed to measure Mouse Cxcl2 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). It uses our proprietary Quick ELISA technology. Quick ELISA technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the polyclonal antibody used to coat our Quick ELISA plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. The kit includes Mouse Cxcl2 protein as standards. To measure Mouse Cxcl2, add standards and samples to the wells, then add antibody cocktail. Wash the wells with PBS or TBS buffer, and add TMB. TMB is an HRP substrate and will be catalyzed to produce a blue color product, which changes into yellow after adding the acidic stop solution. The absorbance of the yellow product is linearly proportional to Mouse Cxcl2 in the sample. Read the absorbance of the yellow product in each well using a plate reader, and benchmark the sample wells' readings against the standard curve to determine the concentration of Mouse Cxcl2 in the sample
