Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate ABCB1 in samples. An antibody specific for ABCB1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyABCB1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for ABCB1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of ABCB1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:P-glycoprotein is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump for xenobiotic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier.
