Relaxin 3 Picokine (RLN3) ELISA Kit for Human

Principle of the assay: Human Relaxin 3 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Relaxin 3 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E Coli, D119-C142 (A) & A27-R53(B)) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Relaxin 3 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 3 amount of sample captured in plate.

Background: Relaxin-3 is a neuropeptide which is highly conserved in species ranging from flies, fish, rodents and humans. It is a member and ancestral gene of the relaxin family of peptides, which includes the namesake hormone relaxin (designated 'H2 relaxin' in humans) which mediates peripheral actions during pregnancy and which was found to relax the pelvic ligament in guinea pigs almost a century ago. The broad distribution of relaxin-3 fibres/RXFP3 within several key neuronal circuits suggests an ability to modulate a broad range of behaviours. This has been confirmed in a growing number of rodent studies, which demonstrate relaxin-3 is able to modulate arousal, the response to stress, feeding/metabolism and memory; and likely plays a role in the generation/regulation of hippocampal theta rhythm.

Small volumes of RLN3 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.

MBS177627 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Relaxin 3 PicoKine (RLN3) 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 RLN3. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS177627 kit is based on RLN3 antibody-RLN3 antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect RLN3 antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, RLN3. 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(%).
