Principle of Assay
Human MUC3 ELISA Kit (A334991) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human MUC3 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for MUC3. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where MUC3 binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for MUC3 is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured MUC3 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 MUC3 captured in each well. The concentration of MUC3 is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
