The PathScan® Total Akt1 Chemiluminescent Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of total Akt1 protein with a chemiluminescent readout. Chemiluminescence ELISAs often have a wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than conventional chromogenic detection. This chemiluminescent ELISA which is offered in low volume microplates, shows increased signal and sensitivity while using smaller sample size. An Akt rabbit antibody has been coated on the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, the Akt protein is captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, an Akt1 mouse antibody is added to detect the captured total Akt1 protein. Anti-mouse IgG, HRP-linked antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. Chemiluminescent reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of light emission, measured in relative light units (RLU), is proportional to the quantity of total Akt1 protein.
