Human Clusterin (CLU) ELISA Kit

Clusterin (apolipoprotein J) is a 75 - 80 kDa disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein associated with the clearance of cellular debris and apoptosis. This protein has several synonyms: dimeric acidic glycoprotein (DAG protein), testosterone repressed prostate message-2 (TRPM-2), sulfated glycoprotein-2 (SGP-2) and complement lysis inhibitor (CLI) .This protein was first identified in 1988 in seminal fluid.In humans the gene is encoded on chromosome 8 (8p21) and is highly conserved between species (70-80% homology) .It is expressed in most mammalian tissues and can be found in blood plasma, milk, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and semen. A number of proteins have been found to affect its expression including Egr-1, members from the AP-1 complex, HSF1/2, Cdx1/2 and B-Myb.

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

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