S100β ELISA Kit

Storage Instruction:Store the kit at 4°C.
Description:
S-100 β protein has a molecular weight of 21 K Daltons and consists of two subunits, α chain. It is known that the combination of these subunits varies depending on the location in the human body. S-100  is localized in glial cells and schwann cells, S-100 β in glials cells and S-100 α α in striated muscle, heart, and kidney. It was reported that the concentration of S-100 β in cerebrospinal fluid was a useful marker for diagnosis of the degree of brain damage after head injury, cerebral hemorrhage or ischemic stroke. Recently another report described that the increase of S-100 β in blood correlated to the degree of brain damage after cerebral ischemia, infarction, hemorrhage or severe head injury.
This kit is used for quantitative determination of human S-100 β in plasma samples. The kit is characterized by sensitive quantification and high specificity. In addition, there is no influence by other components of plasma samples and it does not require sample pre-treatment.
