Usage Notes
* Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Preparation and Storage
Store at 2-8 degree C.

Related Product Information for A-MSH elisa kit
Description: This Mouse Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (A-MSH) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate A-MSH in samples. An antibody specific for A-MSH has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any A-MSH present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for A-MSH is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of A-MSH bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background: Melanocyte-stimulating hormone belongs to a group called the melanocortins. This group includes ACTH, alpha-MSH, beta-MSH and gamma-MSH; these peptides are all cleavage products of a large precursor peptide called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). Alpha-MSH is the most important melanocortin for pigmentation.Alpha-MSH could be a potent biological marker for the identification of CFS. Despite extensive research, no reliable biological marker for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has yet been identified. However, hyperactivation of melanotrophs in the pituitary gland and increased levels of plasma alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) have recently been detected in an animal model of chronic stress. Because CFS is considered to be caused partly by chronic stress events, increased alpha-MSH plasma levels may also occur in CFS patients.

Product Notes

The Mouse A-MSH (Catalog #AAA9718113) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9718113 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse A-MSH. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (A-MSH), 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.
