. INTENDED USE
This T4 ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the
quantitative determination of Chicken T4. This ELISA kit for research use
only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!
. PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY
T4 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique
utilizing a monoclonal anti-T4 antibody and an T4-HRP conjugate. The
assay sample and buffer are incubated together with T4-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 T4 concentration since
T4 from samples and T4-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-T4 antibody
binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are
occupied by T4 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind T4-HRP
conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color
(O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The T4 concentration in each
sample is interpolated from this standard curve
