ELISA Mouse Tenomodulin (TNMD)

Reactivity:Mouse (Mus muscµLus) UniProt:Q9EP64 Abbreviation:TNMD Alternative Names:BRICD4; CHM1L; TEM; BRICHOS domain containing 4|CHM1-like|chondromodµLin I-like|chondromodµLin-IB|myodµLin|tendin Application:ELISA Range:0.312-20 ng/mL Sensitivity:0.114 ng/mL Intra-AssayCV:?4.5% Inter-AssayCV:?7.3% Recovery:1.01 Sample Type:Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids Detection Method:Sandwich Analysis Method??:Quantitive Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TNMD in samples. An antibody specific for TNMD has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTNMD present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjµgated antibody specific for TNMD is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjµgated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TNMD bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Product Overview:By searching an EST database for sequences similar to mouse Tem, followed by RACE of a fetus cDNA library, Shukunami et al. (2001) cloned TEM. The deduced 317-amino acid protein contains an N-terminal transmembrane domain and a putative antiangiogenic domain with 8 cysteines. TEM shares 96% amino acid identity with mouse Tem, and it shares 65% identity in a 65-amino acid C-terminal stretch with chondromodµLin I (CHM1). Northern blot analysis of several mouse tissues detected a 1.4-kb transcript expressed specifically in skeletal muscle. In situ hybridization revealed mouse Tem expression in dense connective tissue, such as epimysium and tendon. Stability:The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test. Keep the kit at 37°C for 4 and 7 days, and compare O.D.values of the kit kept at 37°C with that of at recommended temperature. (referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calcµLated by the Arrhenius equation. For ELISA kit, 4 days storage at 37°C can be considered as 6 months at 2 - 8°C, which means 7 days at 37°C equaling 12 months at 2 - 8°C).
