Rat MIP1a (Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 alpha) ELISA kit

This kit applies sandwich ELISA method for the quantitative detection of MIP1a (Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 alpha) in rat samples. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat MIP1a. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat MIP1a. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Rat MIP1a, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ±10nm. The concentration of Rat MIP1a in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
