CTGF Chemi-Luminescent ELISA Kit (Rat)

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes (By similarity) . Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells (By similarity) . Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis (By similarity) .

The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) . Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) . Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) level in the sample or standard.
