Porcine Cytokeratin 18 ELISA Kit is a sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of porcine Cytokeratin 18 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids.
Assay Type
Sandwich (quantitative)
Principle of Assay
Porcine Cytokeratin 18 ELISA Kit (A7896) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of porcine Cytokeratin 18 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for Cytokeratin 18 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the Cytokeratin 18 present in each sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation, the wells are washed and then incubated with Biotinylated Anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody, which binds the captured Cytokeratin 18 present in each well. HRP-Avidin conjugate is then added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the amount of Cytokeratin 18 captured in each well. The concentration of Cytokeratin 18 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
