U II
other gene names :
Uts2; Uts2; Ucn2; U-II; UII
uniprot entry name :
UTS2_RAT
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of U2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between U2 and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between U2 and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Assay Type: Competitive. Sensitivity: 0.1 ng/mL.
products categories :
Signal Transduction
products description :
Intended Uses: This U2 ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Human U2. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay U2 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-U2 antibody and an U2-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with U2-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the U2 concentration since U2 from samples and U2-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-U2 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by U2 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind U2-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The U2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
