The Human CTSB (Cathepsin B) ELISA quantitates CTSB in serum and plasma.
原理方法
The Human Cathepsin B (CTSB) solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the concentration of Cathepsin B (CTSB) 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 Cathepsin B (CTSB). 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 Cathepsin B (CTSB) 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.

Cathepsin B is a gene located on chromosome 8p23.1 that encodes a lysosomal cysteine protease involved in intracellular protein degradation. As a member of the cathepsin family, Cathepsin B plays a crucial role in the lysosomal pathway, facilitating the breakdown of proteins into amino acids, which can then be recycled for cellular functions. In addition to its proteolytic activity within lysosomes, Cathepsin B is also implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, cellular invasion, and apoptotic pathways. Its expression and activity are often upregulated in various cancer types, including breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers, where it contributes to tumor progression and metastasis by degrading extracellular matrix components and promoting tumor cell invasion. Due to these roles, Cathepsin B is considered a potential biomarker for cancer prognosis and a target for therapeutic intervention aimed at inhibiting cancer cell dissemination. Research continues to explore its broader implications in diseases related to protease activity and inflammation.
