ALKBH ELISA Kits are specialized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits designed to detect and quantify ALKBH (AlkB Homolog) proteins. ALKBH proteins are involved in DNA repair and demethylation processes and are important in various biological and pathological contexts, including cancer and epigenetic regulation.

Key Features of ALKBH ELISA Kits

• High Sensitivity and Specificity:
  • Objective: Detect low levels of ALKBH proteins with high accuracy.
  • Mechanism: Utilize antibodies specifically targeting ALKBH proteins to minimize cross-reactivity and ensure precise measurement.
• Quantitative Measurement:
  • Objective: Provide accurate quantification of ALKBH protein levels in samples.
  • Mechanism: Generate standard curves using known concentrations of ALKBH proteins for precise measurement.
• Optimized Protocols:
  • Procedure: Includes coating, blocking, sample incubation, detection, and measurement steps optimized for reliability and reproducibility.
  • Time Efficiency: Typically designed to deliver results within a few hours.
• Reagent Composition:
  • Capture Antibody: Specific for ALKBH proteins, immobilized on a microtiter plate.
  • Detection Antibody: Conjugated to an enzyme (e.g., horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase) that binds specifically to ALKBH proteins and produces a detectable signal.
  • Substrate Solution: Reacts with the enzyme to produce a measurable colorimetric, fluorometric, or luminescent signal.
• Standard Curve Generation:
  • Objective: Calibrate the assay for accurate quantification.
  • Mechanism: Include ALKBH protein standards to create a standard curve for determining the concentration of ALKBH in samples.
• Sample Types:
  • Applicability: Suitable for various sample types, including cell lysates, tissue extracts, serum, or plasma, depending on the kit specifications.

Applications
