Description
For Samples: Serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate
Intended Uses: This BATF ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Rabbit BATF. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!
Principle of the Assay: BATF ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-BATF antibody and an BATF-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with BATF-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the BATF concentration since BATF from samples and BATF-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-BATF antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by BATF from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind BATF-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The BATF concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve
