Reactivity
Human
Specificity
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of DCA. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between DCA and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between DCA and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
Assay Type
Quantitative Competitive
Samples
Serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate
Sensitivity
0.1 mg/ml

Principle of the Assay: DCA ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-DCA antibody and an DCA-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with DCA-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the DCA concentration since DCA from samples and DCA-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-DCA antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by DCA from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind DCA-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The DCA concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
