The Rat Matrix MetalloProteinase 8 (Rt MMP8) ELISA quantitates Rt MMP8 in rat serum, plasma, or cell culture medium. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant Rt MMP8.
Principle of the method
The Rat MMP8 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.
Can degrade fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens.
