EliKine™ Rat TNF-α ELISA Kit

Tumor necrosis factor acts as a cytokine, binding TNF receptors and plays a role in regulation of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and inflammatory response.

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

EliKine™ Rat TNF-α ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TNF-α in samples. An antibody specific for TNF-α has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TNF-α present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TNF-α 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 TNF-α 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.
