Rat Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Receptor (ACTHR) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ACTHR. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to ACTHR. 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 ACTHR, 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 ACTHR 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
Receptor for corticotropin (ACTH). This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase (cAMP).

Performance Characteristics
REPEATABILITY |
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level ACTHR were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. |
SENSITIVITY | The minimum detectable dose was 0.234ng/mL. |
ASSAY RANGE | 0.625-40ng/mL |
SPECIFICITY | This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of ACTHR. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between ACTHR and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between ACTHR and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist. |
