The Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1α (MIP-1α) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Human) is a sandwich ELISA for the quantitative determination of human macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Sensitivity:0.78pgml
Detection Range:3.12-200pg/ml
Specificity:This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of human MIP-1α. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human MIP-1α and analogues was observed.
Precision:Intra-assay: CV%<8%Inter-assay: CV%<10%
Test Principle:An antibody specific for MIP-1α has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any MIP-1α present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MIP-1α is added to the wells. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MIP-1α bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
