specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of mouse TGF-alpha. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between mouse TGF-alpha and analogues was observed.
storage stability :
Unopened test kits should be stored at 2 to 8 degree C upon receipt. Please refer to pdf manual for further storage instructions.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, cell culture supernates and tissue homogenates. Assay Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 12.5 pg/ml -800 pg/ml. Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of mouse TGF-alpha is typically less than 3.12 pg/ml. The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined the mean O.D value of 20 replicates of the zero standard added by their three standard deviations.
other info2 :
Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%. Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. Inter-assay: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%. Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
products description :
Principle of the assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for TGF-alpha has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TGF-alpha present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TGF-alpha is added to the wells. After washing, avidin 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 TGF-alpha bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

uniprot summary :
Function: TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor/EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar.
