Kit Components:
• MMP-8 Microplate (Item A): 96 wells (12 strips x 8 wells) coated with anti-rat MMP-8.
• Wash Buffer Concentrate (20x) (Item B): 25 ml of 20x concentrated solution.
• Standards (Item C): 2 vials, recombinant rat MMP-8.
• Assay Diluent A (Item D): 30 ml of diluent buffer, 0.09% sodium azide as preservative. For Standard/Sample (serum/plasma) diluent.
• Assay Diluent B (Item E): 15 ml of 5x concentrated buffer. For Standard/Sample (cell culture medium/urine) diluent.
• Detection Antibody MMP-8 (Item F): 2 vial of biotinylated anti-MMP-8 (each vial is enough to assay half microplate).
• HRP-Streptavidin Concentrate (Item G): 200 µl of 160x concentrated HRP-conjugated streptavidin.
• TMB One-Step Substrate Reagent (Item H): 12 ml of 3,3’,5,5’tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in buffered solution.
• Stop Solution (Item I): 8 ml of 0.2 M sulfuric acid.
Description:
BioVision’s Rat MMP-8 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Rat MMP-8. This assay employs an antibody specific for MMP-8 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and MMP-8 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Rat MMP-8 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MMP-8 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm. The minimum detectable dose of MMP-8 is typically less than 50 pg/ml. The intra-Assay reproducibility is CV<10% & inter-Assay is CV<12%. This ELISA kit shows no cross-reactivity with the following cytokines tested: rat CINC-2, CINC-3, CNTF, Fractalkine, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, Leptin, Lix, MCP-1, MIP-3α, β-NGF, TIMP-1, TNF-α.
