Different Kinds Of Cancer ELISA Kits

By Lila Bryant


First of all, it is important to know the meaning of ELISA. This is an abbreviation for enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The Cancer ELISA kits are used for the components of the chemicals and immune system in detecting the responses in the body for any infectious microbes. The test involves an enzyme or a protein that causes a certain reaction. It involves any antigen the body.

The cancer antigen 125 is a type of kit that express a certain measurement of antigen concentrations. It has usually 3 different features. The easy one that has a fixed feature in just one system, an efficient feature that reaches a test for 96 samples and the rapid feature that can provide a result in no less than four hours. This high technology allows everyone to screen many serum samples for various antigens that is incorporated with cancers in all levels.

Another is the breast cancer susceptibility protein 1 or the BRCA1. This is a high sensitive kit to specify and detect anyone who has breast tumor. This kit is identified by a loss of rate in activity. This loss rate is less than five percent in the duration of the expiry date under a necessary storage condition. To have a lesser impact on the performance, the laboratory state and operating procedures, such as room temperature must be controlled.

Tumor marker for lung cancer is a sandwich kind of kit that contains enzyme immunoassay that measures a tumor in a human serum, in the plasma and other biological serum. This consists of a specific detection of an antigen. It composed of a lower limitation of detection that contains a lower concentration of protein identified from zero.

The early prostate cancer antigen 2 is composed of reagents, plate sealer, pre coated, 96 well strip plate, detection reagent and standard diluent. It is also composed of wash buffer and stop solution. These came by batches with different detection, sensitivity and developing capabilities.

The signal transduction assay reaction is a sensitive and fast method to detect a comparable amount of activated targets in using a Phospho specific antibodies. This is a sandwich enzyme which provides a system in detecting a specific signaling target in a cell passage. The process may take less than 5 hours.

Another is the ovarian cancer marker. The kit applies a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique that used a monoclonal antibody. The sample and the buffer are developed together within one hour. Once the incubation procedure was done, the wells are drained and washed for about five repetitions.

The DNA damage EIA is an aggressive colorimetric enzyme immunoassay that may result after 2.5 hours. The samples are already validated and convenient in the 96 wells plate scheme. The tests of DNA are measured through the serum, saliva and urine of a person. The types of samples are plasma, cell lysates and the DNA extracts.

These are just a few of the type of kits that is available for both human and animal detection for tumors. Since it has different kinds and specifications, it is still the decision of physician on how it would be treated.
