Human Prostate tumor-overexpressed gene 1 protein (PTOV1) ELISA Kit

PTOV1 was predicted to form alternating alpha helices and beta sheets. Normal prostate expressed low PTOV1 levels. Western blot analysis of prostate tumor tissue detected PTOV1 at an apparent molecular mass of 58 kD. Immunocytochemical analysis detected endogenous PTOV1 in the cytoplasm, concentrated around the nucleus.PTOV1 was overexpressed in 71% of 38 prostate carcinomas and in 80% of samples with prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. High levels of PTOV1 in tumors correlated significantly with proliferative index and localization of PTOV1 in the nucleus. In quiescent cultured prostate tumor cells, PTOV1 localized to the cytoplasm and was excluded from nuclei. After serum stimulation, PTOV1 partially translocated to the nucleus at the beginning of S phase.

Human Prostate tumor-overexpressed gene 1 protein (PTOV1) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PTOV1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PTOV1 and analogues was observed.

This Human Prostate tumor-overexpressed gene 1 protein (PTOV1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PTOV1 in samples. An antibody specific for PTOV1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPTOV1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PTOV1 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 PTOV1 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.
