Human Transforming growth factors β2 (TGF-β2) ELISA Kit

TGF-β2 encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGF-beta binding protein, or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGF-beta family members. Disruption of the TGF-beta/SMAD pathway has been implicated in a variety of human cancers. A chromosomal translocation that includes TGF-β2 is associated with Peters' anomaly, a congenital defect of the anterior chamber of the eye. Mutations in TGF-β2 may be associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome. TGF-β2 encodes multiple isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing.

Human Transforming growth factors β2 (TGF-β2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human TGFB2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TGFB2 and analogues was observed.

This Human Transforming growth factors β2 (TGF-β2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TGFB2 in samples. An antibody specific for TGFB2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTGFB2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TGFB2 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 TGFB2 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.
