ELISA - IBL

  • Question
    Q.What size of oligomer can be detected by this assay kit?
  • Answer
    A.Any oligomer that is bigger than Amyloidβ dimer and has a recognized region of 82E1 (N-terminal of 1-16) can be detected by this assay kit.
  • Question
    Q.Can this kit detect protofibril and fibril?
  • Answer
    A.It cross reacts with both protofibril and fibril.
  • Question
    Q.3 recognized parts of 82E1 antibody (a.a. 1-16) are existed if the sample is trimer. In that case, does the conjugated antibody binds to 2parts or only one part?
  • Answer
    A.82E1 antibody is used for as capture antibody (precoated one) and detection antibody (HRP conjugated one). Theoretically, 2 regions of trimer can bind to the detection antibody if 1 region is captured by captured antibody. However, this is only the case that actual molecule detected holds the N-terminal region of Aβ1-16.
  • Question
    Q.Is it depending on the size of oligomer to determine the quantity of the detection antibody that binds to one oligomer?
  • Answer
    A.It depends on molecule of oligomer. It does not detect monomer. We recommend to use both products #27718 Human Amyloidβ (1-40) (FL) Assay Kit - IBL and #27719 Human Amyloidβ (1-42) (FL) Assay Kit - IBL by depending on purposes.

  • Question
    Q.Why extraction and condensation process using Sep-Pack is required for measuring Endothelin-3 (ET-3) blood samples?
    Is the process essential for the assay?
  • Answer
    A.Measuring ET-3 in blood sample is quite difficult due to very low concentration of ET-3 (reference approx. 0.48pg/mL in normal subject blood sample).
    The extraction and condensation process using Sep-Pack is essential for the assay.
    The assay will be failed without the process.
    The ET-3 in blood sample become much lower than the original concentration after the process and it depends on the collection rate.
    Therefore, it is recommended to prepare larger volume 5mL-10mL of blood sample for ET-3 measurement.
    Please refer to "Attention for sample handling" on page 2 of the datasheet for additional information.
  • Question
    Q.Which region are recognized by the antibodies used by this kit?
  • Answer
    A.The capture antibody (Anti-ET 15-21) recognizes the region at C-terminal of ET-3 and the detection antibody specifically recognizes the region at N-terminal of ET-3.
  • Question
    Q.How should I conduct Endothelin extraction process?
