Human Transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3) ELISA Kit

TGF-β3 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. TGF-β3 is involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation, and may play a role in wound healing. Mutations in TGF-β3 are a cause of aortic aneurysms and dissections, as well as familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 1.

Human Transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human TGFB3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TGFB3 and analogues was observed.

This Human Transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TGFB3 in samples. An antibody specific for TGFB3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTGFB3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TGFB3 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 TGFB3 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.
