Description

ELISA

The Human Ferritin (FE) ELISA quantitates FE in serum and plasma. Principle of the method The Human FE solid phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target specific antibody has been pre coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme antibody target complex to produce measurable signal. The enzyme substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The intensity of this signal, measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450±2 nm, is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen. Achieve fast and reliable results in just 90 minutes with our Rapid ELISA kit, featuring a streamlined protocol that requires only one wash step. Rigorous validation: Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Not for resale without express authorization.

Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Ferritin is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in the light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome. The ferritin gene has multiple pseudogenes, and ferritin is a ubiquitous and highly conserved protein which plays a major role in iron homeostasis. Ferritin is a holoenzyme shell with a molecular weight of about 450 kDa, and consists of 24 subunits of two types, H(heavy) and L(light), and capable of storing up to 4,500 atoms of ferric iron.
