Description
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) and unlabeled Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) in the sample
