Background

M-CSF, also called CSF1, has a role in development of the placenta. Uterine CSF1 concentration is regulated by a synergistic action of estradiol and progesterone. CSF1 is produced by uterine glandular epithelial cells. It had been found that FMS, the CSF1 receptor, is expressed in placenta and choriocarcinoma cell lines1. The CSF1 gene is mapped to 1p21-p13 and contains 10 exons and 9 introns spanning 20 kb2. And there are 2 forms of CSF1, with 224 and 522 amino acids, resulting from alternative splicing3.

Principle

The ELISA Kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. The target specific antibodies are precoated onto 96-well plates. The target from the sample is bound to the microwell. The biotinylated target specific detection antibodies are added to the microwells and followed by washing with the PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with the PBS or TBS buffer. TMB, the HRP (horseradish peroxidase) substrate, is used to visualize color change resulting from the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce the blue color. The color changes into yellow after the acidic stop solution is added. The density of the yellow color is proportional to the target amount from the sample captured in the microwells.
