PubMed Product Details
Technical Data

Cat # changed from RSCYK090R to YK090

Type

Competitive ELISA

Description

This EIA kit i s used for quantitative determination of rat, mouse or human pancreatic glucagon in plasma samples. T he kit is characterized by sensitive quantification and high specificity. In addition , it is not influence by other components in plasma samples and sample pre treatment is unnecessary. Glucagon standard used in kit system is highly purified synthetic product (purity: higher than 98%) and biotinylated pancreatic glucagon is purified by HPLC.

Applications

Plasma

Sample Requirements

50 µl or 100 µl/well

Shipping

On blue ice packs. Upon receipt, store the product at the temperature recommended below.

Storage/Expiration

Summary

According to many studies on glucagon immunoassay, it has been established that the antibody against the C terminal fragment (19-29) of glucagon has specific bin ding with pancreatic glucagon, whereas the antibody against the N terminal fragment 1-19) of glucagon has specific binding with both of pancreatic and intestinal glucagon (total glucagon). Once, 30K by Unger et. al had been widely used as an antibody spe cific for the C terminal fragment of glucagon, but Nishino, Shima and Yanaihara et. al succeeded in producing pancreatic glucagon specific antibody using synthetic peptide with the C terminal fragment (19-29) of glucagon as immunogen in 1981. This EIA kit has been developed by using polyclonal antibody against glucagons (19-29), synthetic pancreatic glucagon as gl ucagon standard and biotinylated pancreatic glucagon as labeled antigen for the measurement of rat, mouse or human glucagon in plasma.
