The Human VWF (Von Willebrand Factor) ELISA quantitates VWF in serum and plasma.
Principle of the method
The Human Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the concentration of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in biological samples. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody.
The sandwich complex is formed by the addition of a second (HRP-linked) detection antibody specific to Von Willebrand Factor (VWF). Excess reagents are washed from the plate.
A substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce a measurable signal. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution. The intensity of the signal, measured spectrophotometrically at 450 ± 2 nm, is directly proportional to the concentration of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) present in the original specimen.
Rigorous validation:
Each 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.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Not for resale without express authorization.
Von Willebrand factor (vWf) is a series of self-aggregated structures, all derived from common glycoprotein subunits, synthesized in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. The molecular mass of the monomeric vWf unit is 225 kDa. vWf binds to circulating factor VIIIc (antihemophilic factor), hereby stabilizing the latter thus being an important factor in the normal primary haemostasis.
