Perforin is produced by cytotoxic T cells and NK cells as an effector molecule in the cell-mediated destruction of target cells. Perforin will facilitate delivery of granzymes which induces apoptosis of the target cell.
All kits include a Perforin standard derived from human YT cells. No international standard exists for calibration.
Cross-reactivity has been assessed and confirmed with certain non-human primate species.
Mabtech’s enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA PRO, is a complete kit for the quantification of human Perforin in biological fluids such as serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The assay utilizes ELISA strip plates precoated with a capture monoclonal antibody (mAb), a biotinylated mAb for detection, streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP), TMB substrate, a Perforin standard derived from human YT cells, buffers, diluents, stop solution and adhesive plate covers.
