Principle of Assay
Human Presenilin 1/PS-1 ELISA Kit (A247033) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human Presenilin 1/PS-1 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for Presenilin 1/PS-1. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where Presenilin 1/PS-1 binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Presenilin 1/PS-1 is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured Presenilin 1/PS-1 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 Presenilin 1/PS-1 captured in each well. The concentration of Presenilin 1/PS-1 is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
