DESCRIPTION
cAMP Assay Kit uses a sensitive colorimetric competitive ELISA method to quantify cAMP (cyclic AMP) levels in samples from mammals and other species. It has a sensitivity of 0.02 µM.The cAMP assay protocol uses a 96-well plate supplied coated with Protein G. The Protein G binds an anti-cAMP antibody which is added to the plate.HRP-labeled cAMP, and free cAMP within a sample, are then added to each well of the plate. The cAMP assay is based on the competition between the HRP-labeled cAMP and the free cAMP for the fixed number of cAMP antibody binding sites on the plate.The more free cAMP is present, the less HRP-labeled cAMP is bound. After a washing step, the amount of bound HRP-labeled cAMP is detected using a colorimetric HRP substrate measured by absorbance at OD 450 nm. The level of signal is compared to a standard curve for free cAMP, which is run at the same time as the samples.This kit uses an acetylation step to achieve the maximum sensitivity.
