Test principle : This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AIM1 in samples. An antibody specific for AIM1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyAIM1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conj µgated antibody specific for AIM1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conj µgated 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 AIM1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview : AIM1 (absent in melanoma-1) is a novel gene whose expression is altered in association with tumor suppression in a model of human melanoma . Chromosome banding analysis of human malignant melanoma documented nonrandom alteration in chromosome 6. All known members of this superfamily contain 2 or 4 characteristic motifs arranged in 1 or 2 symmetrical domains. AIM1 in contrast, contains 12 beta-gamma motifs, s µggesting a 6-domain structure resembling a trimer of beta- or gamma-crystallin subunits. The structure of the AIM1 gene shows remarkable similarity to the beta-crystallin genes, with homologous introns delineating equivalent protein structural units.
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 calc µLated 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).
