Test Principle

This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with Human T. Samples (or Standards) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) linked antibody specific for Human T are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human T in samples (or standards) competes with a fixed amount of T on the solid phase supporter for sites on the HRP linked detection antibody specific to T. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate. The substrate solution is added to each well. 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 concentration of Human T in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Background

Testosterone is an important secreted androgen synthesized from cholesterol-derived pregnenolone. Circulating testosterone is predominantly bound to proteins, including specific sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and nonspecific proteins such as albumin. It is believed that bioavailable testosterone includes the free steroid and the albumin-bound form. Testosterone is the main androgen secreted by the Leydig cells of the testes and affects both primary and secondary sexual development.
