Background: Albumin is a water-soluble protein with considerable structural stability, which makes up 60% of the total protein of plasma. It functions as a carrier of hormones, enzymes, fatty acids, metal ions and medicinal products.
Assay Principle: Mouse albumin will bind to the affinity purified capture antibody coated on the microtiter plate. After appropriate washing steps, peroxidase labeled polyclonal anti-mouse albumin antibody binds to the captured protein. Excess antibody is washed away and TMB substrate is used for color development at 450 nm. A standard calibration curve is prepared along with the samples to be measured using dilutions of mouse albumin. Color development is proportional to the concentration of albumin in the samples.
Specifications:
- Sensitivity: 0.09 ng/ml
- Specificity: Mouse albumin (Does not distinguish IgG subclasses.)
- Range: 0.2-200 ng/ml
- Sample Type: Mouse serum, plasma, urine and other biological fluids. For research use only.
- Cross-Reactivity: Pooled normal plasma from rat was assayed and slight cross-reactivity was observed. Pooled normal plasma from rabbit, dog, pig, sheep cynomolgus monkey and human was assayed and no significant cross-reactivity was observed.
