Mouse Galectin-8 (LGALS8) ELISA Kit | KTE71181 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Mouse Galectin-8 (LGALS8) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate LGALS8 in samples. An antibody specific for LGALS8 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyLGALS8 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for LGALS8 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin 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 LGALS8 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Usage Note: • Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.
• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Storage Instruction: The unopened kit should be stored at 2 - 8°C. After opening, please store refer to protocols.

Shipping: Gel pack with blue ice.

Background: Galectin-8 is one of the galectins, beta-galactoside-binding lectins with conserved carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) . Galectin-8 essentially consists of two carbohydrate recognition domains separated by a linker that bears no similarity to any known protein. The gene symbol is LGALS8 . Galectin-8 has been identified originally as PCTA1 [Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1], an antigen expressed by prostate cancer cells .Several isoforms appear to be expressed differentially in various tumoral cells . The protein is identical with Po66-CBP [Po66 carbohydrate-binding protein], identified by the Po66 monoclonal antibody.
