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.
