Endothelial Cell-specific Molecule 1 (ESM1) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Mouse)

For the quantitative determination of mouse Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM1) in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates.

Sensitivity:
0.039ng/ml

Detection Range:
0.156-10ng/ml

Specificity:
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of mouse ESM1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between mouse ESM1 and analogues was observed.

Assay Principle:
This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for ESM1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any ESM1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ESM1 is added to the wells. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of ESM1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
