Nori Feline TGFb1 ELISA Kit
$508.00 – $916.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of TGFb1 in cat. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for TGFb1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TGFb1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for TGFb1 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TGFb1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
TGFβ1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) was first identified in human platelets as a protein with a molecular mass of 25 kilodaltons with a potential role in wound healing (1). TGFB1, TGFB2, and TGFB3 all function through the same receptor signaling systems. They are members of the large TGFβ superfamily. TGFβ proteins are highly pleiotropic cytokines that regulate processes such as immune function, proliferation and epithelial mesenchymal transition (2-4). It was later characterized as a large protein precursor (containing 390 amino acids) that was proteolytically processed to produce a mature peptide of 112 amino acids (5). TGFβ activation from latency is controlled both spatially and temporally, by multiple pathways that include actions of proteases such as plasmin and MMP9, and/or by thrombospondin 1 or selected integrins (5, 6). Although different isoforms of TGFβ are naturally associated with their own distinct LAPs, the TGFβ1 LAP is capable of complexing with, and inactivating, all other Equine TGFβ isoforms and those of most other species (7). Mutations within the LAP are associated with Camurati Engelmann disease, a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by inappropriate presence of active TGFβ1 (8).
