Guinea Pig MFG-E8 ELISA Kit | MFG-E8 elisa kit
Guinea pig MFG-E8 (Milk Fat Globule EGF Factor 8) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to MFG-E8. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for MFG-E8 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain MFG-E8, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of MFG-E8. You can calculate the concentration of MFG-E8 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
MFGE8: Plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization. Contributes to phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in many tissues. Specific ligand for the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors. Also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner. Zona pellucida-binding protein which may play a role in gamete interaction. Binds specifically to rotavirus and inhibits its replication. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig MFG-E8 mfge8 (Catalog #AAA2508660) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2508660 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig MFG-E8. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MFG-E8, 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
