ELISA Mouse Myelin basic protein (MBP)

Reactivity:Mouse (Mus muscµLus) UniProt:P04370 Abbreviation:MBP Alternative Names:MGC99675; Golli-mbp|OTTHUMP00000174383 Application:ELISA Range:15.6-1000 pg/mL Sensitivity:6.5 pg/mL Intra-AssayCV:?3.8% Inter-AssayCV:?6.5% Recovery:0.95 Sample Type:Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids Detection Method:Sandwich Analysis Method??:Quantitive Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MBP in samples. An antibody specific for MBP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMBP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjµgated antibody specific for MBP is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjµgated 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 MBP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Product Overview:Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a protein believed to be important in the process of myelination of nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) is the major constituent of the CNS myelin syntheQuantityd by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. MBP, PLP (proteolipid proteins) and MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) are potential primary encephalitogenic target antigens in mµLtiple sclerosis.MBP was initially sequenced in 1979 after isolation from myelin membranes. Since that time, knockout mice deficient in MBP have been developed which showed decreased amounts of CNS myelination and a progressive disorder characterized by tremors, seizures, and early death. The gene for MBP is on chromosome 18; the protein localizes to the CNS and to various cells of the hematopoietic system. Stability:The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test. Keep the kit at 37°C for 4 and 7 days, and compare O.D.values of the kit kept at 37°C with that of at recommended temperature. (referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calcµLated by the Arrhenius equation. For ELISA kit, 4 days storage at 37°C can be considered as 6 months at 2 - 8°C, which means 7 days at 37°C equaling 12 months at 2 - 8°C).
