Mouse Interleukin-17A ELISA Kit (A33045)

Mouse Interleukin-17A ELISA Kit

Sandwich (quantitative)

This mouse IL-17A enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applies a technique called a quantitative sandwich immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to mouse IL-17A. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells. A biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for mouse IL-17A was added and incubated. Mouse IL-17A, if present, will bind and become immobilized by the antibody pre-coated on the wells. The microtiter plate wells are thoroughly washed to remove unbound mouse IL-17A and other components in the sample. Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Avidin is a tetramer containing four identical subunits that each has a high affinity-binding site for biotin. The wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unboundHRP-conjugated Avidin, and aTMB(3,3'5, 5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain mouse IL-17A, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in colour. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the colour change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm.

In order to measure the concentration of mouse IL-17A in the samples this kit includes two calibration diluents (Calibrator Diluent I for serum testing and Calibrator Diluent II for cell culture supernatant testing.) According to the testing system, the provided standard is diluted (2-fold) with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent and assayed at the same time as the samples. This allows the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density (O.D) versus mouse IL-17A concentration (pg/mL). The concentration of IL-17A in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
