Product details:
Human CA125 ELISA Kit (MUC16) ab274402 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human CA125 (MUC16)in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, milk, serum, urine. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 0.02 0.
How the assay works
Human CA125 (MUC16)SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.
Human CA125 ELISA Kit (MUC16) ab274402 protocol summary
1. Mix: add samples/standards to the wells together with the capture and detector antibody cocktail. Incubate 1 hr at room temperature
2. Wash
3. Add TMB development solution - incubate for 10 min
4. Add Stop solution
5. Read the results on a plate reader at 450 nm
Cancer antigen 125 (CA125, also known as Mucin 16) is a membrane associated cell surface protein containing approximately 22,096 amino acids. CA125 is the largest member of the Mucin family of proteins and is highly O-glycosylated. The hydrophilic nature of mucin proteins gives them the ability to form protective/lubricating gel-like barriers to protect against chemotherapy agents, foreign particles and infectious agents. CA125 is used as a biomarker for ovarian cancer detection, with about 90% of women with advanced ovarian cancer having elevated levels of CA125 present in their blood serum.
