EliKine™ Human β-NGF ELISA Kit

β-NGF gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein which homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. This protein has nerve growth stimulating activity and the complex is involved in the regulation of growth and the differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type 5 (HSAN5), and dysregulation of β-NGF gene's expression is associated with allergic rhinitis.

EliKine™ Human β-NGF ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human β-NGF. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human β-NGF and analogues was observed.

EliKine™ Human β-NGF ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate β-NGF in samples. An antibody specific for β-NGF has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any β-NGF present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for β-NGF is added to the wells. After washing, proprietary EliKine™ Streptavidin-HRP conjugates is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound streptavidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of β-NGF 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.
