Abstract for NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System
The NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System is designed for the
sensitive and specific detection of Neurotrophic Factor-3 (NT-3) in an antibody
sandwich format. In this format, flat-bottom 96-well plates are coated with
Anti-Human NT-3 pAb that binds soluble NT-3. A quick wash removes any unbound
NT-3. Captured NT-3 is bound by a second, specific antibody, Anti-NT-3 mAb.
After washing, a tertiary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP),
Anti-Mouse IgG, HRP Conjugate, is added and binds the sandwich complex. Finally,
the chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is added. The
amount of specifically bound NT-3 is proportional to the color generated in the
coupled oxidation-reduction reaction and is quantitated against a standard curve
generated with known amounts of NT-3.
The NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System offers several
benefits:
- Specificity: Specific detection of NT-3; typically less than 3%
cross-reactivity to other related neurotrophic factors at 10ng/ml.
- Sensitivity: Detects a minimum of 10pg/ml of NT-3.
- Flexibility: Available in sizes for five or two 96-well ELISA
plates; can configure plates as desired.
- High Value: Optimized reagents and protocol.
