Glutamate Decarboxylase Auto (GADAb) ELISA Kit for Mouse

Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antigen specific to GAD-Ab. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated polyclonal antigen preparation specific for GAD-Ab and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain GAD-Ab, biotin-conjugated antigen and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The concentration of GAD-Ab in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Small volumes of GADAb 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.

MBS288216 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Glutamate decarboxylase autoantibody (GADAb) 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 GADAb. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS288216 kit is based on GADAb antibody-GADAb antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect GADAb antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, GADAb. 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(%).
