C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) ELISA [CE]

The principle of the following enzyme immunoassay test follows a typical two-step capture or ‘sandwich’ type assay. The assay makes use of two highly specific monoclonal antibodies: A monoclonal antibody specific for CRP is immobilized onto the microwell plate and another monoclonal antibody specific for a different region of CRP is conjugated to horse radish peroxidase (HRP). CRP from the sample and calibrators are allowed to bind to the plate, washed, and subsequently incubated with the HRP co
