The Mouse Mucin 5 Subtype B (MUC5B) ELISA quantitates MUC5B in serum, plasma, and other biological fluids
The Mouse Mucin 5 Subtype B (MUC5B) 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 are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the binding of the second (detector) antibody to the target on a different epitope from the capture antibody. An antibody conjugated with enzyme binds the formed sandwich. After incubation and washing steps to rid the microplate of unbound substances, 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.
Mucins (MUCs) are heavily glycosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized either as membrane-bound or secreted proteins. Mucins are noteworthy because they have an aberrant expression profile in various malignancies. Mucins normally play a protective role for epithelial tissues and are expressed in the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genito-urinary tracts. Mucins may also be involved in the renewal and differentiation of the epithelium, and the modulation of cell adhesion and cell signaling. MUC5B is thought to play a vital role in maintaining oral health, and may also be involved in respiratory and oral disease.2 MUC5B expression has been studied in gastric carcinoma as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
