Rat GRP78 BiP ELISA Kit (A79441) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of rat GRP78 BiP in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. An antibody specific for GRP78 BiP has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the GRP78 BiP present in each sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation, the wells are washed and then incubated with Biotinylated Anti-GRP78 BiP Antibody, which binds the captured GRP78 BiP present in each well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated detection 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 proportional to the amount of GRP78 BiP captured in each well. The concentration of GRP78 BiP can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
