Mouse Complement Component 3 (C3) ELISA Kit
Mouse Complement Component 3 (C3) ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is a highly sensitive two-site enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) for measuring Mouse Complement Component 3 (C3) in biological samples. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests. In this assay the C3 present in samples reacts with the anti-C3 antibodies which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtitre wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, anti-C3 antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added. These enzyme-labeled antibodies form complexes with the previously bound C3. Following another washing step, the enzyme bound to the immunosorbent is assayed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3Æ,5,5Æ-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of C3 in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of C3 in the test sample. The quantity of C3 in the test sample can be
