Principle of the Assay: This assay applies an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. A purified mouse IgG has been pre-coated onto the wells of microplate. Standard (rabbit anti-mouse IgG) and specimens are added into the appropriate wells simultaneously with a HRP-labelled mouse IgG, and incubated. The Human Anti-Mouse Antibody (HAMA), if present, will bind with the mouse IgG which coated on the wells and HRPlabelled mouse IgG as well, forming a "Sandwich". Following a wash to remove any unbound substance, a substrate solution is added. The developed colour is directly proportional to the anti-mouse antibody concentration in the specimen and Standard samples. This ELISA Kit includes a Calibration Diluent for preparing a 2-fold dilution of Standard series. It allows the operator to produce a standard curve with Optical Density (O.D) versus Human Anti-Mouse Antibody concentration (ng/mL). The concentration of Human Anti-Mouse Antibody in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.
Background/Introduction: Human Anti-Mouse Antibody (HAMA) are antibodies found in human serum which have the ability to bind to mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG). The presence of HAMA is the result of an immune reaction following an exposure to mice or other similar agent, which was able to induce the immune system to generate an antibody able to bind to mouse IgG. HAMA is commonly found in patients following treated with mouse monoclonal antibodies associated with some therapeutic or test procedures. Some human auto-antibodies, the most common of which is rheumatoid factor (Rf), by virtue of their cross reactivity are able to bind mouse IgG. The HAMA assay measures HAMA across a wide dynamic range and it is not necessary to predilute human serum samples before the HAMA ELISA testing.

Product Notes
The HAMA (Catalog #AAA590048) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HAMA, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
