Allopregnanolone aids neurogenesis and has been found to reverse neuron proliferative deficit and cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.  Allopregnanolone has also been shown to restore functionality in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease and to improve behavioral problems in post-traumatic stress disorder.

The DetectX^® Allopregnanolone Immunoassay kit is designed to quantitatively measure allopregnanolone present in extracted serum, plasma, dried fecal samples, or diluted urine and tissue culture media samples.  Please read the complete kit insert before performing this assay.  An allopregnanolone standard is provided to generate a standard curve for the assay and all samples should be read off the standard curve.  Standards or diluted samples are pipetted into a clear micrometer plate coated with an antibody to capture mouse antibodies.  An allopregnanolone-peroxidase conjugate is added to the standards and samples in the wells.  The binding reaction is initiated by the addition of a monoclonal antibody to allopregnanolone to each well.

The kit has two format options: a primary incubation of two hours at room temperature with shaking, or overnight at 4°C.  At the end of the incubation period the plate is washed and substrate is added.  The substrate reacts with the bound allopregnanolone-peroxidase conjugate. After a short incubation, the reaction is stopped and the intensity of the generated color is detected in a microtiter plate reader capable of measuring 450 nm wavelength.  The concentration of the allopregnanolone in the sample is calculated, after making suitable correction for the dilution of the sample, using software available with most plate readers.

 

自1982年以来，Arbor Assays的创始人和顶尖科学家一直在研究和开发高质量的检测试剂盒。我们从小就生产FDA管制的用于人类疾病检测的体外诊断产品。1991年，当我们开始为生命科学市场生产产品时，我们意识到灵敏度，速度，便利性，质量和服务与这些产品无关。我们为您更改了。2017年1月1日，Arbor Assays通过永久员工福利信托（EBT）成为全球第一家员工拥有的生命科学公司。作为EBT，董事会确保公司为客户和员工的利益而保持独立。对于客户而言，员工拥有权意味着可以依靠公司不断进行试验，创新和提供高质量的产品。对于员工而言，所有权意味着提高工作安全性和职业满意度，而不必担心Arbor Assays将被出售给更大的开发公司。
