Matrix Metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Human)

The Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) ELISA Kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative measurement of MMP7 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Test Principle: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to human MMP7. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated polyclonal antibody preparation specific for human MMP7. 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 MMP7, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulfuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of MMP7 in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.
