M-CSF ELISA Kit

Antigen: M-CSF

Reactivity: Mouse (Murine)

Application: ELISA

Catalog no.: ABIN411322

Additional Information

Characteristics: For quantitative detection of mouse IL-1

Description: M-CSF, also called CSF1, consists of a 14-amino acid peptide, longer than the usual 8-to-11 mer recognized by most CTLs. The M-CSF gene is mapped to 1p21-p13 and contains 10 exons and 9 introns spanning 20 kb1. Although it is a single-copy gene, its expression results in the synthesis of several mRNAs, ranging in size from about 1.5 to 4.5 kb2. There are 2 forms of M-CSF, with 224 and 522 amino acids, resulting from alternative splicing3. Furthermore, M-CSF has a role in development of the placenta. Uterine M-CSF concentration is regulated by a synergistic action of estradiol and progesterone. M-CSF is produced by uterine glandular epithelial cells. It had been found that FMS, the M-CSF receptor, is expressed in placenta and choriocarcinoma cell lines4.

Specificity: No detectable cross-reactivity with any other cytokine.

Sensitivity: Sensitivity: < 1pg/ml. Range: 15.6pg/ml-1000pg/ml

Application Details

Principle: This mouse M-CSF ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. Mouse M-CSF specific-specific polyclonal antibodies were precoated onto 96-well plates. The mouse specific detection polyclonal antibodies were biotinylated. The test samples and biotinylated detection antibodies were added to the wells 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 M-CSF amount of sample captured in plate.

Application Notes: Before using Kit, spin tubes and bring down all components to bottom of tube. Duplicate well assay was recommended for both standard and sample testing. Don

Components: Lyophilized recombinant mouse M-CSF standard: 10ng/tube

Material not included: Microplate reader in standard size. Automated plate washer. Adjustable pipettes and pipette tips. Multichannel pipettes are recommended in the condition of large amount of samples in the detection. Clean tubes and Eppendorf tubes. Washing buffer (neutral PBS or TBS).
