Human Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) ELISA Kit

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. In response to interferon (IFN), this protein forms a complex with STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor family protein p48 (ISGF3G), in which this protein acts as a transactivator, but lacks the ability to bind DNA directly. Transcription adaptor P300/CBP (EP300/CREBBP) has been shown to interact specifically with this protein, which is thought to be involved in the process of blocking IFN-alpha response by adenovirus.

Human Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human STAT2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human STAT2 and analogues was observed.

This Human Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate STAT2 in samples. An antibody specific for STAT2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySTAT2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for STAT2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of STAT2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
