The Mouse / Rat Acylated Ghrelin ELISA is for the quantitative determination of acylated ghrelin in mouse and rat plasma. For Research Use only. Not For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
Ghrelin is present in the peripheral circulation in two forms: acylated and non-acylated. The Mouse / Rat Acylated Ghrelin ELISA specifically measures the acylated form of ghrelin. The Mouse / Rat Acylated Ghrelin ELISA is based on a double-antibody sandwich technique; the wells of the plate supplied with the kit are coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to the C-terminal part of ghrelin. This antibody will bind to any ghrelin introduced into the wells (standard or sample). The AChE - Fab` conjugate which recognizes the N-terminal part of ghrelin is also added to the wells. This allows the two antibodies to form a sandwich by binding on different parts of the acylated ghrelin. Each kit contains ghrelin AChE-Fab` conjugate, rat acylated ghrelin standard, two ghrelin quality controls, Ellman’s reagent, EIA buffer, wash buffer, Tween 20, plates pre-coated with anti-ghrelin mouse monoclonal antibody, and complete instructions.

1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
In a head-to-head comparison of FDA-cleared assays and a novel ALPCO method, investigators observed wide variability in specificity and false-positive rates across platforms, raising important questions about standardization and clinical interpretation.
