Test Principle:
This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human IL-8. Samples (or Standards) and and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) linked antibody specific for Human IL-8 are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Human IL-8 in samples (or standards) combines with the coated antibody and HRP linked detection antibody special to Human IL-8. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human IL-8. You can calculate the concentration of Human IL-8 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
