RAD50 ELISA Kit (Human)

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level RAD50 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level RAD50 were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. Intra-Assay: CV Inter-Assay: CV Inter-Assay: CV Inter-Assay: CV

Component of the MRN complex, which plays a central role in double-strand break (DSB) repair, DNA recombination, maintenance of telomere integrity and meiosis. The complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and double-strand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which are provided by MRE11. RAD50 may be required to bind DNA ends and hold them in close proximity. This could facilitate searches for short or long regions of sequence homology in the recombining DNA templates, and may also stimulate the activity of DNA ligases and/or restrict the nuclease activity of MRE11 to prevent nucleolytic degradation past a given point (PubMed:11741547, PubMed:9590181, PubMed:9705271, PubMed:9651580) . The complex may also be required for DNA damage signaling via activation of the ATM kinase (PubMed:15064416) . In telomeres the MRN complex may modulate t-loop formation (PubMed:10888888) .

Aviva Systems Biology RAD50 ELISA Kit (Human) (OKDD00499) is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay methodology. An antibody for RAD50 has been pre-coated onto a 96-wellplate (12 x 8 Well Strips) . Standards or test samples are added to the wells, incubated and removed. A biotinylated detector antibody specific for RAD50 is added, incubated and removed. Avidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is then added, incubated and unbound conjugate is washed away. An enzymatic reaction is produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by HRP generating a blue color product that changes yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration read by absorbance at 450 nm and is quantitatively proportional to the amount of sample RAD50 captured in well.
