Human Chemokine C-C-Motif Ligand 14 (CCL14) 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 Human CCL14. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human CCL14. 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 Human CCL14, 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 Human CCL14 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

For use with: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids.

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

Target Information

Has weak activities on human monocytes and acts via receptors that also recognize MIP-1 alpha. It induces intracellular Ca(2+) changes and enzyme release, but no chemotaxis, at concentrations of 100-1,000 nM, and is inactive on T-lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophil leukocytes. Enhances the proliferation of CD34 myeloid progenitor cells. The processed form HCC-1(9-74) is a chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, eosinophils, and T-cells and is a ligand for CCR1, CCR3 and CCR5.

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 6.3pg/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	15.63–1,000pg/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human CCL14. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human CCL14 and analogues was observed.
