Principle of Assay
Human KIBRA ELISA Kit (A78976) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human KIBRA in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for KIBRA. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where KIBRA binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for KIBRA is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured KIBRA to form an antibody-antigen-antibody sandwich complex. After further incubation and washing, HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells. TMB substrate solution is then 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 KIBRA captured in each well. The concentration of KIBRA is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
