Mouse LDL(Low Density Lipoprotein) ELISA Kit (E-EL-M1363)

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 Mouse LDL. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Mouse LDL 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 Mouse LDL, 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 Mouse LDL. You can calculate the concentration of Mouse LDL in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Low-density lipoprotein is a kind of lipoprotein particles that carry cholesterol into peripheral tissue cells, which can be oxidized into oxidized low-density lipoprotein. When low-density lipoprotein, especially oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL), is excessive, the cholesterol it carries will accumulate in the artery wall, which is easy to cause arteriosclerosis for a long time. That's why LDL is called the "bad cholesterol."
