Human Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha (PTF1A) ELISA Kit

Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha is a component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) and is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development. The protein plays a role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. The protein is thought to be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including elastase 1 and amylase. Mutations in this gene cause cerebellar agenesis and loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers.Pancreas-specific (at protein level) . Loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers.

Human Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha (PTF1A) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PTF1A. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PTF1A and analogues was observed.

This Human Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha (PTF1A) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PTF1A in samples. An antibody specific for PTF1A has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPTF1A present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PTF1A 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 PTF1A 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.
