Bovine Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (PIGR) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Cattle R. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Cattle R. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Cattle R, 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 Cattle R in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

For use with: Serum, plasma, and other biological fluids.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Polymeric immunoglobulin receptorMediates selective transcytosis of polymeric IgA and IgM across mucosal epithelial cells. Binds polymeric IgA and IgM at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells. The complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. During this process, a cleavage occurs that separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment.

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 8% Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on 1 plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (precision between assays)：CV% < 10% Three samples of known concentration were tested in forty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.227ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.63–40ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Cattle R. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Cattle R and analogues was observed.
