The Human Thyroglobulin (TG) ELISA quantitates Hu TG in human serum, plasma, or cell culture medium. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant Hu TG.
Principle of the method
The Human TG solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.
Rigorous validation
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.
The human thyroglobulin (hTg) is a high molecular weight glycoprotein (605 kDa) found in the thyroid follicular cells. It plays a central role in the uptake, incorporation, and regulated biosynthesis of thyroid hormones, T4 and T3. Thyroid disorders are, in large part, due to autoimmune origin, and anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies were the first factor to be discovered. Anti-hTG is found in all thyroid autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto thyroiditis, Graves diseases), with the highest level observed in Hashimoto thyroiditis. Anti-hTG is also characteristic of thyroid cancer, and its determination can be used for the follow up of cancer patients.
