| Description |
The Cell Sciences Human MMP-2 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit isan in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement ofhuman MMP-2 in serum, plasma (Collect plasma using heparin as an anticoagulant. EDTAand Citrate are not recommended as anticoagulants for use in this assay due to theirchelating properties), cell culture supernates and urine. This assay employs an antibodyspecific for human MMP-2 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipettedinto the wells and MMP-2 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilizedantibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human MMP-2 antibody is added.After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin ispipetted to the wells.The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and colordevelops in proportion to the amount of MMP-2 bound. The Stop Solution changes thecolor from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm. |
