Human Apolipoprotein AI ELISA Kit

Human Apolipoprotein AI ELISA Kit (ab189576) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Apolipoprotein AI protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Apolipoprotein AI with 59 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology 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. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Apolipoprotein AI (ApoA1) is secreted by the liver and small intestine and is a major protein of plasma HDL (high density lipoprotein). APOA-I participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). Defects in APOA1I are associated with several diseases associated with low HDL levels (HDLD1 and HDLD2) and amyloidosis (AMYL8).
