Product overview
Abcam’s PGF2 alpha in vitro competitive ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of PGF2 alpha in Porcine Plasma, Porcine and Human Serum, Saliva, Urine and Tissue Culture Media.
A donkey anti-sheep IgG antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards or test samples are added to the wells, along with an alkaline phosphatase (AP) conjugated-PGF2 alpha antigen and a polyclonal sheep antibody specific to PGF2 alpha. After incubation the excess reagents are washed away. pNpp substrate is added and after a short incubation the enzyme reaction is stopped and the yellow color generated is read at 405 nm. The intensity of the yellow coloration is inversely proportional to the amount of PGF2 alpha captured in the plate.

Notes
Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is formed in a variety of cells from PGH2, which itself is synthesized from arachidonic acid by the enzyme prostaglandin synthetase. PGF2α is often viewed as an antagonist to PGE2 due to their opposing effects on various tissues. PGF2α is a potent bronchoconstrictor and has been implicated in asthma attacks. PGF2α is also involved in reproductive functions including corpus luteum regulation, uterine contractions, and sperm motility. This has led to its use in terminating pregnancies and inducing labor at term. High levels of PGF2α have also been associated with pre-eclampsia.
