About
Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
Test principle
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Myostatin (MSTN) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Myostatin (MSTN) and unlabeled Myostatin (MSTN) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Myostatin (MSTN). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Myostatin (MSTN) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Myostatin (MSTN) in the sample.
