KLK1 ELISA Kit for Mouse

Principle of the Assay: The Mouse KLK1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for KLK1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(Expression system for standard: NSO, Immunogen sequence: I25-D261) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for KLK1 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 Mouse KLK1 amount of sample captured in plate.

Background: Kallikrein-1, also known as tissue kallikrein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLK1 gene. This serine protease generates Lys-bradykinin by specific proteolysis of kininogen-1. KLK1 is a member of the peptidase S1 family. Its gene is mapped to 19q13.3. In all, it has got 262-amino acids which contain a putative signal peptide, followed by a short activating peptide and the protease domain. The protein is mainly found in kidney, pancreas, and salivary gland, showing a unique pattern of tissue-specific expression relative to other members of the family. KLK1 is implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers.

Small volumes of Klk1 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.

MBS178770 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the KLK1, 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 Klk1. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS178770 kit is based on Klk1 antibody-Klk1 antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect Klk1 antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, Klk1. 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(%).
