E3 Ubiquitin-protein Ligase CHIP (STUB1) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit is a quantitative sandwich assay for the detection of STUB1 in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids.
Detection Range
31.25-2000pg/ml
Precision
Intra-Assay %CV: <10% Inter-Assay %CV: <10%
Specificity
Recognizes natural and some recombinant human STUB1. No significant crossreactivity or interference between human STUB1 and analogues was observed.
Test Principle
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to STUB1. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to STUB1. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain STUB1, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will apear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulfuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 2nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of human STUB1. The concentration of STUB1 in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.
