Human Apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) ELISA Kit

Apoptosis inducing factor is involved in initiating a caspase-independent pathway of apoptosis (positive intrinsic regulator of apoptosis) by causing DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation. It also acts as an NADH oxidase. Another AIF function is to regulate the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane upon apoptosis. Normally it is found behind the outer membrane of the mitochondria and is therefore secluded from the nucleus. However, when the mitochondria is damaged, it moves to the cytosol and to the nucleus. Inactivation of AIF leads to resistance of embryonic stem cells to death following the withdrawal of growth factors indicating that it is involved in apoptosis.

Human Apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human AIFM1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human AIFM1 and analogues was observed.

This Human Apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AIFM1 in samples. An antibody specific for AIFM1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyAIFM1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for AIFM1 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 AIFM1 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.
