Relaxin 1 Picokine (RLN1) ELISA Kit for Human

Principle of the assay: Human Relaxin 1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Relaxin 1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E Coli,R162-Cys185 (A) & K26-S53 (B)) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Relaxin 1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human Relaxin 1 amount of sample captured in plate.

Background: Relaxin 1 is a member of relaxin-like peptide family. Relaxin gene maps to human chromosome 19 near D19Mit23. Relaxin is a peptide hormone produced by the corpora lutea of ovaries during pregnancy in many mammalian species, including man. Relaxin widens the pubic bone and facilitates labor, it also softens the cervix (cervical ripening), and relaxes the uterine musculature. However, its significance may reach much further. Relaxin affects collagen metabolism, inhibiting collagen synthesis and enhancing its breakdown by increasing matrix metalloproteinases. It also enhances angiogenesis and is a potent renal vasodilator.

Small volumes of RLN1 elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS177616 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Relaxin 1 PicoKine (RLN1) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing RLN1. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS177616 kit is based on RLN1 antibody-RLN1 antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect RLN1 antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, RLN1. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).
