mCherry ELISA Kit

mCherry ELISA Kit ab221829 is a rapid single-wash 90-min ELISA kit to measure Human IL-1 beta in cell culture extracts, cell culture media and cell culture supernatant. This SimpleStep ELISA® sensitivity is 5.64 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human IL-1 beta 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

This kit is designed for the quantification of mCherry. The standard protein in this kit is full-length mCherry. Spiked protein experiments were used to validate cell culture supernatant and cell extract sample types. Serum, plasma (citrate), plasma (EDTA), plasma (heparin), urine, saliva, milk, CSF, and tissue extract samples have not been tested with this kit.
1,600 pg/mL and 400 pg/mL of recombinant YFP, GFP, and RFP were individually tested for cros reactivity. No cross reactivity was observed.
1,600 pg/mL of recombinant YFP, GFP, and RFP were individually tested for interference with 200 pg/mL of recombinant mCherry. No interference was observed, with an average recovery of 97% of mCherry protein.

This kit recognizes mCherry fluorescent protein from the organism Discosoma sp. mCherry is a general-purpose, red monomer, fluorescent protein with superior photostability. The mCherry fluorescent protein is a variant of the Discosoma red (DsRed) protein and is excited at wavelengths longer than 600 nm.
