Analysis of Lactotransferrin (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1017-LGZ)

Introduction

Lactoferrin (LF), also known as lactotransferrin (lactotransferrin, LTF), is a multifunctional protein of the transferrin family. Lactoferrin is a globular glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80 kDa, widely present in various secretions, such as milk, saliva, tears and nasal secretions. Lactoferrin is also present in the secondary granules of neutrophils and is secreted by some acinar cells. Lactoferrin can be purified or recombinantly produced from milk.




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.
