Product overview
Abcam’s Retinol Binding Protein (RBP) Human in vitro competitive ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of RBP in plasma and serum.
A Retinol Binding Protein specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently biotinylated Retinol Binding Protein is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is inversely proportional to the amount of Retinol Binding Protein captured in plate.
The immunogen for the RBP-capture antibody is total RBP and thus the capture antibody should detect both RBP1 and RPB4, among others.
