Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to target antigen. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for target antigen and then avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain target antigen, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The concentration of target antigen in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the beta subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by thrombin to release an N-terminal fibrinopeptide during the conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin polymer. The encoded protein interacts with the amyloid beta peptide to form fibrin clots of abnormal structure, and may play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. This gene is located adjacent to the genes encoding fibrinogen alpha and gamma subunits on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
Uniprot Description
FGB: Fibrinogen has a double function: yielding monomers that polymerize into fibrin and acting as a cofactor in platelet aggregation. Defects in FGB are a cause of congenital afibrinogenemia (CAFBN). This rare autosomal recessive disorder is characterized by bleeding that varies from mild to severe and by complete absence or extremely low levels of plasma and platelet fibrinogen. Patients with congenital fibrinogen abnormalities can manifest different clinical pictures. Some cases are clinically silent, some show a tendency toward bleeding and some show a predisposition for thrombosis with or without bleeding.

Product Notes
The Mouse Fgb fgb (Catalog #AAA2881792) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2881792 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Fgb. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Fibrinogen beta chain, 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
