The Retinol Binding Protein (RBP Urinnary Multispecies ELISA quantitates RBP in human,rat,dog and rhesus monkey urine.Principle of the methodThe Retinol Binding Protein Competitive ELISA research-use-only kit is designed to quantitatively measure RBP present in urine samples. A RBP standard is provided to generate a standard curve for the assay and all samples should be read off the standard curve. Standards or diluted samples are pipetted into a clear microtiter plate coated with an antibody to capture rabbit antibodies. A RBP-peroxidase conjugate is added to the standards and samples in the wells. The binding reaction is initiated by the addition of the RBP polyclonal antibody to each well. After a 1-hour incubation the plate is washed and substrate is added. The substrate reacts with the bound RBP-peroxidase conjugate. After a short incubation,the reaction is stopped and the intensity of the generated color is detected in a microtiter plate reader capable of measuring at 450 nm.Rigorous validationEach manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity,specificity,precision,and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in the blood. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein posttranslationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.
