EliKine™ Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA Kit review

EliKine™ Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA Kit reviewTGF-β is capable of producing a variety of effects and virtually all cell types respond to this factor in some way. The inappropriate presence of active TGF-β1 has been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions Because of the necessity for regulating its activity tightly, TGF-β is secreted by cells in the form of an inactive complex. This complex consists of TGF-β1 associated non-covalently with a protein designated the latency associated peptide (LAP). TGF-β1 and LAP represent components of a pro-peptide that is cleaved in a post-golgi compartment prior to secretion. LAP and TGF-β1 each consist of a disulfide-linked homodimer and the association of these two components renders TGF-β1 inactive and inaccessible to anti-TGF-β antibodies.

EliKine™ Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TGF-β1 in samples. An antibody specific for TGF-β1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TGF-β1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TGF-β1 is added to the wells. After washing, proprietary EliKine™ Streptavidin-HRP conjugates is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound streptavidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TGF-β1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

EliKine™ Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA Kit was used to detect TGFB1 in mouse serum. It meets our requirements very well. The detection range of this kit is from 5.625 pg/ml to 1000 pg/ml. The minimum detectable dose of Mouse TGFB1 is typically less than 8 pg/mL. No significant cross-reactivity or interference was found during the test. The design of 12 strips of 8 wells 96 well polystyrene microplates is very flexible. The unused wells can be stored at 2-8 ˚C for up to one month.
