Human Lysozyme C (LYZ) ELISA Kit

This gene encodes human lysozyme, whose natural substrate is the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (cleaving the beta[1-5]glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine) . Lysozyme is one of the anti-microbial agents found in human milk, and is also present in spleen, lung, kidney, white blood cells, plasma, saliva, and tears. Missense mutations in LYZ have been identified in heritable renal amyloidosis.

Human Lysozyme C (LYZ) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human LYZ. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human LYZ and analogues was observed.

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