Human NK-1R ELISA Kit is a sandwich (quantitative) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human NK-1R in tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids.

Assay Type

Sandwich (quantitative)

Principle of Assay

Human NK-1R ELISA Kit employs the Sandwich Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) technique for the quantitative measurement of human NK-1R in human. An antibody specific for NK-1R has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the NK-1R 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-NK-1R Antibody, which binds the captured NK-1R present in each well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated detection antibody is removed by washing, and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (Avidin-HRP) is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is 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 NK-1R captured in each well. The concentration of NK-1R can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
