Rat Myelin basic protein antibody (MBP-Ab) ELISA Kit | KTE100953

Rat Myelin basic protein antibody (MBP-Ab) ELISA Kit | KTE100953 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Rat Myelin basic protein antibody (MBP-Ab) ELISA Kit employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to MBP-Ab. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) -conjugated MBP-Ab and incubated. The competitive inhibition reaction is launched between with HRP labeled MBP-Ab and unlabeled MBP-Ab with the antibody. A substrate solution is added to the wells and the color develops in opposite to the amount of MBP-Ab in the sample. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Conjugate: N/A

Sample Type: Cell culture supernatants#Serum#Plasma#Other biological fluids

Assay Type: Multiple steps standard sandwich ELISA assay with a working time of 3-5 hours. It depends on the experience of the operation person.

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: 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 synthesized by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. MBP, PLP (proteolipid proteins) and MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) are potential primary encephalitogenic target antigens in multiple 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.
