Overview of SLPI ELISA Kits
Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI) is a crucial protein involved in immune response regulation, particularly in protecting epithelial tissues from proteolytic enzymes. SLPI ELISA Kits are essential tools for quantifying SLPI levels in various biological samples, aiding in the research and diagnosis of conditions related to inflammation, infection, and tissue damage.
Technical Content
Principle of the Assay: SLPI ELISA Kits utilize a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. The assay involves the following steps:
- Coating: Microplate wells are pre-coated with an antibody specific to SLPI.
- Sample Addition: Samples or standards are added to the wells and incubated, allowing SLPI to bind to the immobilized antibody.
- Detection Antibody: A biotinylated detection antibody specific to a different epitope of SLPI is added, forming a sandwich complex.
- Streptavidin-HRP: Streptavidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added, binding to the biotinylated antibody.
- Substrate Reaction: A substrate solution is added, and the enzyme-substrate reaction produces a measurable color change.
- Measurement: The intensity of the color, measured at a specific wavelength (typically 450 nm), is directly proportional to the concentration of SLPI in the sample.
