Assay Principle:
Rat anti angiotensin receptor 1 (ATR1) IgM antibody ELISA assay kit is an antibody screening test. Angiotensin II receptor has been pre-coated onto a microtiter plate. During the first incubation the rat anti-Angiotensin II receptor 1-IgM-Antibodies of the samples are immobilized on the plate. The autoantibodies are detected with a POD labelled anti-rat IgM antibody. In the following enzymatic substrate reaction the intensity of the colour correlates with the concentration and/ or avidity of anti-Angiotensin II receptor 1-antibody (IgM).
Specimen Collection and Handling:
Dilute the samples with diluent using 1:100 dilution (eg. 5 µl serum or plasma + 495 µl diluent). If samples generate values outside the standard curve, the dilution factor may be quite varied. Store the undiluted samples at room temperature for 48 hours, 2-8°C 4- days, and long-term storage for up to 12 months at –20 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
