Introduction
Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein that is elevated in serum due to injury, infection or disease.Using this kit, reported significant elevation of haptoglobin in urine and feces during the acute phase response.
Principle Of The Assay
The assay uses affinity purified monkey haptoglobin antibodies for solid phase (microtiter wells)immobilization and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated monkey haptoglobin antibodies for detection. Standards and diluted samples are incubated in the microtiter wells for 45 minutes. The wells are subsequently washed. HRP conjugate is added and incubated for 45 minutes. This results in haptoglobin molecules being sandwiched between the immobilization and detection antibodies. The wells are then washed to remove unbound HRP-conjugate and TMB is added and incubated for 20 minutes. If haptoglobin is present a blue color develops. Color development is stopped by the addition of Stop solution, changing
the color to yellow, and absorbance is measured at 450 nm. The concentration of haptoglobin is proportional to absorbance and is derived from a standard curve.
