The Rat OCLN Occludin ELISA Kit test is designed for the quantitative measurement of Rat OCLN in tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. The test utilizes the Sandwich-ELISA principle, which is based on the Double-Antibody Sandwich technique to detect Rat OCLN. This means the kit includes two antibodies; the first is pre-coated onto the ELISA plate, while the second is biotinylated. The detected OCLN from the sample is captured by the pre-coated antibody and then bound by the biotinylated secondary antibody, and detected by a streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate.
The consumables included in the kit are ELISA plate, sample diluent, standard, detection reagent A, detection reagent B, wash buffer, stop solution, and a color reagent. The kit will also include an instruction manual.
The Rat OCLN Occludin ELISA Kit Test is crucial in biomedical research to measure the levels of occludin (a protein that is fundamental to the tight junctions that secure the paracellular barrier) in rat models. This can aid in studying various health conditions related to tight junctions and cell adhesion, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and multiple sclerosis.
The results are determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve. Measurements made directly from the samples are then multiplied by the dilution factor to obtain the concentration of Rat OCLN in the original samples. Please refer to the protocol provided with the kit for precise information.
