Assay-Prinzip
Rat Smoothelin ELISA Kit (A7412) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of rat Smoothelin in tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for Smoothelin has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the Smoothelin 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-Smoothelin Antibody, which binds the captured Smoothelin 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 Smoothelin captured in each well. The concentration of Smoothelin can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
