| Description |
The Mouse TGFβ1 Single Analyte ELISArray Kit
is designed to quantitatively measure the amount of this cytokine in cell
culture supernatant, serum or plasma using a conventional enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Each 96-well plate (8 wells/strip, 12 strips)
is coated with the protein-specific capture antibody. We screened all
commercially available antibodies to identify the best capture and
detection antibodies. The high sensitivity, good linearity and low
background of the Single Analyte ELISArray Kits provide reliable and
reproducible results for your cytokine and chemokine analyses.

| More information on TGFβ1 from
NCBI: |
| "TGFB is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types. TGFB acts synergistically with TGFA (MIM 190170) in inducing transformation. It also acts as a negative autocrine growth factor. Dysregulation of TGFB activation and signaling may result in apoptosis. Many cells synthesize TGFB and almost all of them have specific receptors for this peptide. TGFB1, TGFB2 (MIM 190220), and TGFB3 (MIM 190230) all function through the same receptor signaling systems.[supplied by OMIM]" |

| Brief Protocol |
The Brief Protocol is meant for experience
users only. First-time users should refer to the User
Manual.
- Prepare replicate serial dilutions of the Antigen Standard and your
experimental samples.
- Pipette 50 µl of Assay Buffer into each well of the 8-well ELISA
strips.
- Transfer 50 µl samples and/or standards to the appropriate wells of
the ELISA strips.
- Gently shake or tap plate for 10 s. Incubate for 2 h at room temp.
- Washing ELISA Wells:
Decant or aspirate well contents. Add 350 µl 1X Washing Buffer.
Gently shake or tap plate for 10 s. Decant or aspirate. Blot array
upside down on absorbent paper to remove any residual buffer. Repeat
wash twice more.
- Pipette 100 µl of Detection Antibody solution. Incubate 1 h at room
temp.
- Wash ELISA wells as described above.
- Add 100 µl Avidin-HRP solution to all wells. Incubate for 30 min at
room temp.
- Wash ELISA wells for a total of 4 washes.
- Add 100 µl of Development Solution to each well. Incubate the plate
for 15 min at room temp in the dark.
- Add 100 µl of Stop Solution to each well. The color changes from
blue to yellow.
- Read absorbance at 450 nm within 30 min of stopping the reaction. If
wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from
the reading at 450 nm.
