Description
Principle of the assay: mouse LOX-1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for LOX-1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, R60-I363) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for LOX-1 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 mouse LOX-1 amount of sample captured in plate.
Background: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (Ox-LDL receptor 1) also known as lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OLR1 gene. It belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. The LOX1 gene is mapped to to 12p13-p12. The protein has got the amino acids of 363. It can be detected in various tissues, highly expressed in placenta. This protein may be involved in the regulation of Fas-induced apoptosis and play a role as a scavenger receptor. The standards of this kit are recombinant mouse LOX-1 (R60-I363), with molecular weight of 36.3kDa
