Human Uracil DNA Glycosylase (UNG) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to UNG. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to UNG. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain UNG, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of UNG in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Excises uracil residues from the DNA which can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or due to deamination of cytosine.

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level UNG were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level UNG were tested on 3 different plates, with 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.053ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.156-10ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of UNG. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between UNG and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between UNG and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
