CST's PathScan® Total ALK Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of total ALK and NPM-ALK fusion protein. An ALK rabbit capture antibody has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, ALK and NPM-ALK proteins (phospho and nonphospho) are captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, an ALK mouse detection antibody is added to detect the captured ALK and NPM-ALK proteins. Anti-mouse IgG, HRP-linked Antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added to develop color. The magnitude of absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of total ALK and NPM-ALK proteins. *Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit. -
