Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor Set Cat. No. 239783 1 set |
Also Available...
COX-2 ELISA Kit, Cat. No.
A 96-well complete kit for the quantitative determination of human COX-2 in cell lysates. The 96-well plate is coated with a rabbit anti-human COX-2 polyclonal antibody as the capture antibody. Standards and samples are added to the wells at which time COX-2 is bound to the coated antibody. COX-2 is then detected with a monoclonal anti-COX-2 antibody and a goat anti-mouse IgG HRP Conjugate. The addition of TMB Substrate results in a blue-colored product in the presence of the HRP Conjugate. Sensitivity is increased by the addition of ELISA Stop Solution (H2SO4), yielding a yellow color. The absorbance of each well is measured at 450 nm (preferably with reference wavelength set of 540-600 nm).
