Principle of Assay
Human CD239/BCAM ELISA Kit (A77740) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human CD239/BCAM in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for CD239/BCAM. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where CD239/BCAM binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for CD239/BCAM is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured CD239/BCAM 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 CD239/BCAM captured in each well. The concentration of CD239/BCAM is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
