Cattle OPN(Osteopontin) ELISA Kit

Major non-collagenous bone protein that binds tightly to hydroxyapatite (Probable). Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix (Probable). Probably important to cell-matrix interaction (Probable) , Acts as a cytokine involved in enhancing production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 and reducing production of interleukin-10 and is essential in the pathway that leads to type I immunity Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 1.14 ng/mL. Standard: 200 ng/mL. Detection range: 3.13-200 ng/mL. Sample type: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Tumor immunity,Bone metabolism,. Test principle: 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 Cattle OPN. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Cattle OPN. 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 Cattle OPN, 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 Cattle OPN in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
