Rat FGF7 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 7) ELISA Kit

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with Rat FGF7. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat FGF7. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added. 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 FGF7 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Growth factor active on keratinocytes.
