Mouse SCF ELISA EA-2407 $518

Description(s):

Stem cell factor (SCF) is a growth factor for multiple cell types.  It is expressed in glioma cells and as a result of various types of brain injury. Tumor-induced brain injury, brain cell-mediated SCF expression contributes to tumor growth by setting up an environment that supports angiogenesis and tumor progression.  SCF expression is not directly linked to tumor cell proliferation but instead encourages the growth of blood vessels needed to support the expanding tumor.

Detection Range:
- 16 - 1000 pg/mL 

Sensitivity:
- 8 pg/mL


Principle

Mouse Cytokine ELISA is based on the principle of a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The assay utilizes rabbit anti-mouse antibodies for immobilization on the microtiter wells and rabbit anti-mouse antibodies along with streptavidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for detection. The test sample is allowed to react simultaneously with the two antibodies, resulting in the molecules being sandwiched between the solid phase and enzyme-linked antibodies. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound-labeled antibodies. A HRP substrate, TMB, is added to result in the development of a blue color. The color development is then stopped with the addition of Stop Solution changing the color to yellow. The   concentration of SCF is directly proportional to the color intensity of the test sample. Absorbance is measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm.
