Kit ELISA humain Endothelin-1 (ET-1)

The Endothelin-1 (ET-1) Multispecies ELISA quantitates Endothelin-1 in human, bovine, procine, dog, rat, and mouse serum, plasma, urine, or cell culture medium

The Endothelin-1 (ET-1) Multispecies ELISA quantitates Endothelin-1 in human, bovine, procine, dog, rat, and mouse serum, plasma, urine, or cell culture medium. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant Endothelin-1.

Principle of the method

The Endothelin-1 solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is inversely proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.

Rigorous validation

Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.

Target information
The protein encoded by this gene is proteolytically processed to release a secreted peptide termed endothelin 1. This peptide is a potent vasoconstrictor and is produced by vascular endothelial cells. Endothelin 1 also can affect the central nervous system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
