QuicKey Human IgG(Immunoglobulin G) ELISA Kit

Get more sensitive and precise results with saving at least 1h comparing to traditional ELISA Kits. The new developed technology in house will help to accelerate your science research in a more efficient way.

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human IgG. Samples (or Standards) and biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human IgG are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human IgG would combine with the specific antibody. Then Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human IgG, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human IgG. You can calculate the concentration of Human IgG in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

An unopened kit can be stored at 2-8℃ for six months. After test, the unused wells and reagents should be stored according to the table below.

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Human IgG were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Human IgG were tested on 3 different plates, 20 replicates in each plate.

The recovery of Human IgG spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a class of immunoglobulins found in all body fluids. They are the smallest but most common antibodies (75 percent to 80 percent) in the body. IgG antibodies are large molecules of about 150 kDa[1], made of four peptide chains. It contains two identical class γ heavy chains of about 50 kDa and two identical light chains of about 25 kDa, thus a tetrameric quaternary structure. IgG antibodies are very important in fighting bacterial and viral infections, and they are the only type of antibody that can cross the placenta in a pregnant woman to help the fetus. The measurement of immunoglobulin G can be a diagnostic tool for certain conditions, such as autoimmune hepatitis, if indicated by certain symptoms. Clinically, measured IgG antibody levels are generally considered to be indicative of an individual's immune status to particular pathogens. A common example of this practice are titers drawn to demonstrate serologic immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), hepatitis B virus, and varicella (chickenpox) [2].
