Principle of Assay
Human Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody ELISA Kit (A74301) is a 2 hour qualitative indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (qELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with assay-specific antigen. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody present in the samples binds to the immobilized antigen. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and an HRP-conjugated detection antibody is added to the wells. After further incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is added to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. This produces a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow following addition of acidic stop solution. The intensity of the yellow colour is directly proportional to the amount of Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody present in the sample. The concentration of Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
