Human HLA DRB5 ELISA Kit (A74409) employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of human HLA DRB5 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. The 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with HLA DRB5 antigen. During the incubation, HLA DRB5 present in the samples or standards competes with the fixed amount of immobilized HLA DRB5 for binding sites on the Biotinylated Anti-HLA DRB5 Antibody. The more HLA DRB5 present in a sample or standard, the less Biotinylated Anti-HLA DRB5 Antibody that binds to the plate. Following incubation, unbound Biotinylated Anti-HLA DRB5 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 HLA DRB5 present in each sample or standard. The concentration of HLA DRB5 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
