It is involved in regulation of glucose metabolism, fat degradation, blood pressure levels, and stress inhibition. Cortisol also diffuses into cells, where its level is highly regulated by 11ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (type 1 or 2). The cortisol assay allows for rapid and accurate cortisol measurement, even in complex samples such as liver microsomes, whole cells, and animal serum. This assay can also be used to assess 11ß-HSD1 activity (native, recombinant, or microsomal).\u003cbr\u003e\nHTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHomogeneous add-and-read format\u003cbr\u003e\nNo wash steps\u003cbr\u003e\nLow background\u003cbr\u003e\nStraightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates\u003cbr\u003e\nStable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays\u003cbr\u003e\nHow it works\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay principle\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit is based on a competitive format involving a specific antibody labelled with Cryptate (donor) and cortisol coupled to d2 (acceptor). Cortisol produced by cells competes with d2-labelled cortisol for binding to monoclonal anti-cortisol Eu Cryptate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n  \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssay protocol\u003cbr\u003e\nThe cortisol assay features a streamlined protocol with only two incubation steps:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Cell stimulation by target compounds\u003cbr\u003e\n- Cortisol detection using HTRF reagents.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis protocol requires only a single, two-hour incubation period following cell stimulation.
