Principle of Assay
Mouse CYP11A1 ELISA Kit (A270884) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of mouse CYP11A1 in tissue homogenates or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for CYP11A1 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the CYP11A1 present in each sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation, the wells are washed and then incubated with Biotinylated Anti-CYP11A1 Antibody, which binds the captured CYP11A1 present in each well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated detection antibody is removed by washing, and an HRP-Avidin conjugate is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the amount of CYP11A1 captured in each well. The concentration of CYP11A1 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
