TIMP-1, Mouse, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit

Mouse TIMP-1 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) BioAssay(TM) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of mouse TIMP-1. This assay employs an antibody specific for mouse TIMP-1 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and TIMP-1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-mouse TIMP-1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP- conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TIMP-1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450nm. The minimum detectable dose of TIMP-1 is typically less than 3pg/ml. Source: Mouse Sample Type: Serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. Intended Use: The BioAssay(TM) kit is used for quantitative protein detection, establishing normal range and validation of antibody array results. The antibody pair provided in this kit recognizes mouse TIMP-1. Sensitivity: The intra-Assay reproducibility is CV<10% and inter-Assay is CV<12%.
