Kynurenine ELISA Kit (A303870) employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of universal Kynurenine in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. The 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with Kynurenine antigen. During the incubation, Kynurenine present in the samples or standards competes with the fixed amount of immobilized Kynurenine for binding sites on the Biotinylated Anti-Kynurenine Antibody. The more Kynurenine present in a sample or standard, the less Biotinylated Anti-Kynurenine Antibody that binds to the plate. Following incubation, unbound Biotinylated Anti-Kynurenine 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 Kynurenine present in each sample or standard. The concentration of Kynurenine can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
