Principle of Assay
Mouse Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin ELISA Kit (A326866) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of mouse Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin 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 Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin 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 Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin captured in each well. The concentration of Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
