Rat EPX (Eosinophil Peroxidase) Microsample ELISA Kit

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat EPX. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat EPX. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Rat EPX, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Rat EPX in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.Detection Range: 3.13-200 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 1.3 ng/mL. Assay Type: Sandwich. Standard: 200 ng/mL. Sample Type: sserum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay duration: 3.5h. Protein Function: Hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte proliferation and differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. Binds to EPOR leading to EPOR dimerization and JAK2 activation thereby activating specific downstream effectors, including STAT1 and STAT3 [The Uniprot Consortium]
