ELISA Kit PrincipleAviva Systems Biology Keratan sulfate ELISA Kit (OKEH02547) is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-Keratan sulfate antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated Keratan sulfate and incubated. The Keratan sulfate found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated Keratan sulfate for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-Keratan sulfate antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated Keratan sulfate and sample or standard Keratan sulfate is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated Keratan sulfate captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of Keratan sulfate which was contained in the sample or standard.

Protein NameKeratan sulfate
Description of TargetKeratan sulfate (KS), also called keratosulfate, is any of several sulfated glycosaminoglycans (structural carbohydrates) that have been found especially in the cornea, cartilage, and bone. It is also synthesized in the central nervous system where it participates both in development and in the glial scar formation following an injury. Keratan sulfates are large, highly hydrated molecules which in joints can act as a cushion to absorb mechanical shock.
