Human Peptide YY / PYY ELISA Kit (A79680) employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of human Peptide YY / PYY in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. The 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with Peptide YY / PYY antigen. During the incubation, Peptide YY / PYY present in the samples or standards competes with the fixed amount of immobilized Peptide YY / PYY for binding sites on the Biotinylated Anti-Peptide YY / PYY Antibody. The more Peptide YY / PYY present in a sample or standard, the less Biotinylated Anti-Peptide YY / PYY Antibody that binds to the plate. Following incubation, unbound Biotinylated Anti-Peptide YY / PYY 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 Peptide YY / PYY present in each sample or standard. The concentration of Peptide YY / PYY can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
