Antibody Competitive Elisa

Description: 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE or HNE) is a well known by-product of lipid peroxidation and is widely accepted as a stable marker for oxidative stress. Our OxiSelect HNE Adduct Competitive ELISA Kit measures the formation of HNE adducts to any protein residue using a competitive ELISA format.

Description: Glutathione helps protect cells from free radical damage as an antioxidant, but it can also covalently attach to proteins through its sulfhydryl moiety upon derivatization by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione protein adducts can therefore serve as a marker of oxidative stress. OxiSelect s-Glutathione Adduct Competitive ELISA Kit quantifies the glutathionylation of proteins in a standard 96-well plate.

Description: First, a CEL conjugate is coated on the ELISA plate.  The unknown CEL protein samples or CEL-BSA standards are then added to the CEL conjugate preabsorbed plate.  After a brief incubation, the anti-CEL monoclonal antibody is added, followed by an HRP conjugated secondary antibody.  The content of CEL protein adducts in unknown samples is determined by comparison with the predetermined CEL-BSA standard curve.  Despite the structure similarity between CEL and CML, the anti-CEL specific antibody in the OxiSelect CEL ELISA Kit will not cross react with CML protein adducts.

Description: Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are formed during the Maillard reaction where reducing carbohydrates react with lysine side chains and N-terminal amino groups of various macromolecules, particularly proteins. The advanced glycation end products can adversely affect the fuction of these macromolecules. One of the most prevalent AGE products, N-epsilon-(Carboxymethyl) Lysine, has been implicated in oxidative stress and vascular damage. The OxiSelect N-epsilon-(Carboxymethyl) Lysine Competitive ELISA kit specifically detects CML formation with a high level of sensitivity. This is a Competitive ELISA Kit in which the plate is coated with a CML conjugate.  Standards and unknown samples are added to the plate, followed by incubation with the primary antibody. The CML in the unknown samples and the CML attached to the plate compete for the primary antibody. Higher CML content in unknown samples results in more binding of the antibody to the sample, and thus less antibody binds to the plate. Since the antibody bound to the sample is washed away, higher CML content in samples correlates with a lower signal.

Description: MDA, or malondialdehyde, is a widely accepted marker for oxidative stress. Our OxiSelect MDA Competitive ELISA Kit provides a sensitive, specific method for detection of this lipid peroxidation by-product. Important Note: MDA adducts are not stable long term. For best results test all samples immediately upon collection, or freeze them at -80ºC for up to one month. MDA may be degraded in samples that have been frozen for longer periods; in such cases more reliable results may be obtained from more stable markers of oxidative stress such as protein carbonyl, 8-OHdG or 4-HNE.
