Human PAF(Platelet Activating Factor) ELISA Kit (E-EL-H2199)

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 PAF. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human PAF and 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 PAF, 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 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human PAF. You can calculate the concentration of Human PAF in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid mediator and has a wide spectrum of biological properties. PAF is produced by a variety of cells including platelets, endothelial cells, and macrophages. In the vascular system, it increases the permeability of monolayer endothelial cells, activates monocytes无 macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), and stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle cells .
