Principle of Assay
Rat Cytochrome P450 Reductase ELISA Kit (A5048) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of rat Cytochrome P450 Reductase in serum, plasma or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for Cytochrome P450 Reductase has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the Cytochrome P450 Reductase 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-Cytochrome P450 Reductase Antibody, which binds the captured Cytochrome P450 Reductase 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 Cytochrome P450 Reductase captured in each well. The concentration of Cytochrome P450 Reductase can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
