Human Homeobox protein Meis1 (MEIS1) ELISA Kit

Homeobox genes, of which the most well-characterized category is represented by the HOX genes, play a crucial role in normal development. In addition, several homeoproteins are involved in neoplasia. MEIS1 encodes a homeobox protein belonging to the TALE ('three amino acid loop extension') family of homeodomain-containing proteins.

Human Homeobox protein Meis1 (MEIS1) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human MEIS1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MEIS1 and analogues was observed.

This Human Homeobox protein Meis1 (MEIS1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MEIS1 in samples. An antibody specific for MEIS1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMEIS1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MEIS1 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 MEIS1 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.
