Analysis of IGF-1 (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-0914-LGZ)

Introduction

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that, along with growth hormone (GH), helps promote normal bone and tissue growth and development. IGF-1 testing can be used to evaluate adolescents and children with growth retardation. IGF-1 is primarily produced by the liver, skeletal muscle, and many other tissues in response to GH stimulation. IGF-1 mediates many of the effects of GH, stimulating the growth of bone and other tissues, and promoting the production of muscle mass. IGF-1 also plays a role in non-growth activities such as glucose, fat metabolism and is associated with metabolic syndrome.

Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.
