Principle of Assay
Human Proteasome 26S ELISA Kit (A74312) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human Proteasome 26S in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for Proteasome 26S. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where Proteasome 26S binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Proteasome 26S is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured Proteasome 26S 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 Proteasome 26S captured in each well. The concentration of Proteasome 26S is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
