Human DPEP1 / MDP ELISA Kit (A76450) employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of human DPEP1 / MDP in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. The 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with DPEP1 / MDP antigen. During the incubation, DPEP1 / MDP present in the samples or standards competes with the fixed amount of immobilized DPEP1 / MDP for binding sites on the Biotinylated Anti-DPEP1 / MDP Antibody. The more DPEP1 / MDP present in a sample or standard, the less Biotinylated Anti-DPEP1 / MDP Antibody that binds to the plate. Following incubation, unbound Biotinylated Anti-DPEP1 / MDP Antibody is removed by washing, and an HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is inversely proportional to the amount of DPEP1 / MDP present in each sample or standard. The concentration of DPEP1 / MDP can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
