About This Kit
The Human Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1) ELISA quantitates TK1 in serum, plasma, and other biological fluids
The Human Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1) solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the binding of the second (detector) antibody to the target on a different epitope from the capture antibody. An antibody conjugated with enzyme binds the formed sandwich. After incubation and washing steps to rid the microplate of unbound substances, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.
Rigorous validation:
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.
Target information
Thymidine Kinase (TK1) is a highly conserved phosphotransferase that is present in most living cells. Thymidine Kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation reaction: deoxythymidine + ATP = deoxythymidine 5'-phosphate + ADP; it is thus involved in the reaction chain to introduce deoxythymidine into the DNA. Thymidine kinase is required for the action of many antiviral drugs, such as azidothymidine (AZT), and is also used to select hybridoma cell lines in the production of monoclonal antibodies. Thymidine Kinase has many clinical applications as it is only present in anticipation of cell division.
