Human Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2) ELISA Kit

The membrane-associated protein encoded by TAP2 is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White) . Antigen peptide transporter 2 is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. Antigen peptide transporter 2 is involved in antigen presentation. Antigen peptide transporter 2 forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in TAP2 may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces products which differ in peptide selectivity and level of restoration of surface expression of MHC class I molecules.

Human Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human TAP2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TAP2 and analogues was observed.

This Human Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TAP2 in samples. An antibody specific for TAP2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTAP2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TAP2 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 TAP2 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.
