Mouse Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 ELISA Kit

This Mouse Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for quantitative detection of activated mouse TGF-beta 2 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate). Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.

This mouse TGF-beta 2 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for TGF-beta 2 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, A303-S414) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TGF-beta 2 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the mouse TGF-beta 2 amount of sample captured in plate.

Additional Information: The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from rat, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Transforming growth factor-beta 2(TGF-beta 2) is a secreted protein known as a cytokine that performs many cellular functions and has a vital role during embryonic development. This gene is mapped to 1q41. It is an extracellular glycosylated protein. It is known to suppress the effects of interleukin dependent T-cell tumors. TGF-beta 2 is present at elevated levels in the aqueous humor of patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG). Studies have shown that TGF-beta 2 influences cultured trabecular meshwork cells, and it reduced outflow facility when perfused into cultured human anterior segments. In POAG, elevated expression of Gremlin by TM cells inhibited BMP4 antagonism of TGF-beta 2 and led to increased extracellular matrix deposition and elevated IOP.; Immunogen sequence: 369
