BD™ ELISPOT 551881 Mouse IFN-γ ELISPOT 对

The enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay is a powerful tool for detecting and enumerating individual cells that secrete a particular protein in vitro. Based on the sandwich ELISA, the ELISPOT assay derives its specificity and sensitivity by employing high affinity capture and detection antibodies and enzyme-amplification. Although originally developed for analyzing specific antibody-secreting cells, the assay has been adapted for measuring the frequencies of cells that produce and secrete other effector molecules, such as cytokines. The sensitivity of the assay lends itself to measurement of even very low frequencies of cytokine producing cells (e.g., 1/300,000). Unique strengths of the assay include high sensitivity, high throughput, high content analysis, minimal volume of biological material required, applicability to frozen/thawed biological samples, and compatibility with other assays. For example, cells analyzed by ELISPOT can be transferred for cloning, proliferation assays, flow cytometry, or other methods of analysis.

This product contains sufficient reagents for five 96-well plates, including unlabelled anti-cytokine capture antibody (no azide/low endotoxin format), biotinylated anti-cytokine detection antibody and a Certificate of Analysis that provides lot-specific optimal reagent concentrations.
