Human Galectin-3 Quantikine ELISA Kit Summary
Product Summary The Quantikine Human Galectin-3 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure Galectin-3 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human Galectin-3 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained for naturally occurring human Galectin-3 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human Galectin-3. Preparation and Storage
Background: Galectin-3The galectins constitute a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that function in many systems both intracellularly and following secretion. Galectins contain either one or two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRR) which mediate recognition of N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. Some galectins exist in multiple isoforms due to alternative splicing. Individual galectins differ in their tissue distribution and in their carbohydrate-binding specificities.
Assay Procedure Refer to the product datasheet for the complete assay procedure. Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, standards, and controls be assayed in duplicate. 1. Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert. 2. Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal. 3. Add 50 μL of Assay Diluent to each well. 4. Add 50 μL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours. 5. Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 4 times for a total of 5 washes. 6. Add 100 μL of Conjugate to each well. Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours. 7. Aspirate and wash 5 times. 8. Add 100 μL Substrate Solution to each well. 9. Add 100 μL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm. |
