Characterization

Description(s):

Growth factors are a family of proteins capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation, and cellular differentiation. They typically act as signaling molecules by binding to receptors on the cell surface. Many growth factors are quite versatile, stimulating cellular division in numerous different cell types, while others are specific to a particular cell-type. Multiple growth factors often participate in cellular functions together. For example, VEGF, FGF, and EGF stimulate angiogenesis. Therefore, profiling the expression pattern of growth factors provides a valuable insight to the biological mechanisms underlying cellular functions. Signosis’ Growth Factor ELISA Strip allows quantitatively profiling and measuring 8 growth factor cytokines.

Principle

Each well of the strip is coated with a specific capture antibody to detect its corresponding cytokine in the sample. Therefore, eight different proteins can be measured simultaneously. The test sample initially reacts with the solid phase capture antibody, resulting in the cytokine being bound to the well. The wells are then washed to remove unbound proteins, and biotin-linked antibodies are added to the samples to bind to the cytokines. After washing away the unbound antibodies, Streptavidin-HRP conjugate is added to the sample to form a complex with the antibody-bound cytokines. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound Streptavidin-HRP conjugate. HRP luminescent substrate is then added to detect the presence of antibody-bound cytokines. The cytokine concentration in each well is directly proportional to its luminescent intensity, which is measured as relative light units (RLU) by a microplate reader.
