Rabbit Anti Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) IgG ELISA Kit
cat#700-110-KLR
INTENDED USE
The Rabbit Anti-Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) ELISA Kit is an immunoassay
suitable for quantifying or titering total antibody activity (IgG, IgA and IgM) specific
for KLH in serum, plasma or other biological fluids. For research use only (RUO), not for
diagnosis, cure or prevention of the disease.
RESEARCH USE OF THE TEST
Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH), an oxygen-transporting protein of the
marine gastropod Megathura crenulata, is recognized as a potent
immunoactivator, and therefore is widely used in research and clinical
studies. Present applications of KLH include: (a) use as a highly
immunogenic antigen for assessment of immune competence of an
organism, and (b) frequent use as a carrier of low molecular mass peptides
and haptens, such as oligosaccharides, gangliosides or (glyco)peptides, designed to facilitate
antibody production. In these cases, antibodies made to small peptides/haptens are generally
raised by coupling to a large carrier protein like KLH. Antibodies are produced to both KLH and
the peptide/hapten; because anti-KLH may give non-specific signals in various immunoassays,
removal by solid phase immunoaffinity chromatography is common. The ELISA is useful for
determining levels of anti-KLH in sera and for monitoring anti-KLH removal from purified samples
after antibody production.
The ADI anti-KLH ELISA is designed with high sensitivity for discriminating the lower level
antibodies, with specially formulated diluents to minimize interfering background signals.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
The Rabbit KLH ELISA kit is based on the binding of rabbit anti- KLH
in samples to KLH immobilized on the microwells, and anti- KLH Ig
antibody is detected by anti-rabbit Ig-specific antibody conjugated to
HRP (horseradish peroxidase) enzyme. After a washing step,
chromogenic substrate (TMB) is added and color is developed by the
enzymatic reaction of HRP on the substrate, which is directly
proportional to the amount of anti-KLH present in the sample.
Stopping Solution is added to terminate the reaction, and absorbance
at 450nm is then measured using an ELISA microwell reader. The
amount of rabbit Ig in samples is calculated relative to rabbit anti-KLH reference calibrators.
Specificity
Purified KLH is used to coat the microwells; thus the assay is specific for antibodies
directed to KLH. The anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) HRP conjugate reacts with rabbit IgG, IgA
and IgM class antibodies that bind to KLH on the plate. IgE antibody would not be
measured above background signals.
Assay Sensitivity
The KLH coating level and HRP conjugate concentration are optimized to differentiate
anti-KLH Ig from background (non-antibody) signal with rabbit serum samples diluted
1:100.
Calibrator Values
The calibrators are dilutions of rabbit IgG antibody reactive to KLH. Values are
assigned as arbitrary Anti-KLH activity units (see Limits of the Assay).
