Principle of Assay
Rat TSH Receptor/TSH-R ELISA Kit (A7047) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of rat TSH Receptor/TSH-R in tissue homogenates, cell lysates or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for TSH Receptor/TSH-R has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the TSH Receptor/TSH-R 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-TSH Receptor/TSH-R Antibody, which binds the captured TSH Receptor/TSH-R 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 TSH Receptor/TSH-R captured in each well. The concentration of TSH Receptor/TSH-R can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
