Features & Benefits
Human Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human STAT1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human STAT1 and analogues was observed.
Background
STAT1 is a member of the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription family of transcription factors. STAT1 is involved in upregulating genes due to a signal by either type I or type II interferons.
In response to IFN-gamma; stimulation, STAT1 forms homodimers or heterodimers with STAT3 that bind to the GAS (Interferon-Gamma Activated Sequence) promoter element; in response to either IFN-α or IFN-β stimulation, STAT1 forms a heterodimer with STAT2 that can bind the ISRE (Interferon Stimulated Response Element) promoter element. In either case, binding of the promoter element leads to an increased expression of ISG (Interferon Stimulated Genes).Expression of STAT1 can be induced with diallyl disulfide, a compound in garlic.
This Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) ELISA kit is validated for use with Cell culture supernatants, Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids. Samples should be collected, processed, and stored correctly to preserve analyte integrity — avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and centrifuge to remove particulates before use. Dilute samples exceeding the kit's detection range using the supplied assay diluent. Hemolytic, icteric, or lipemic samples may affect assay performance and should be tested with caution.
This is a sandwich ELISA kit employing an HRP (horseradish peroxidase)-conjugated secondary antibody paired with a TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) colorimetric substrate. In the sandwich format, the target analyte Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) captured on the microplate surface is detected by the conjugated antibody, generating a colorimetric signal proportional to analyte concentration. The reaction is stopped and absorbance measured at 450 nm on a standard microplate reader.
The complete protocol, from sample addition to final plate reading, requires approximately 3–5 hours. This includes two incubation periods (analyte binding and detection antibody steps), intermediate wash cycles to remove unbound material, 15–30 minutes of TMB substrate development, and final stop-solution addition before absorbance reading. Exact timing will vary with experience level and the number of samples processed in parallel.
Required equipment: (1) a microplate spectrophotometer capable of reading absorbance at 450 nm (reference wavelength 540–570 nm recommended for background correction); (2) precision single-channel or multichannel pipettes; (3) a plate washer or multichannel aspirator; (4) a microcentrifuge for sample clarification; and (5) a 37°C incubator or stable room-temperature environment. No fluorescence or luminescence reader is required — standard colorimetric plate readers are fully compatible with this kit.
This ELISA kit is formally validated for Human. Cross-reactivity with species not listed in the specification has not been independently characterized. Variability in protein sequence homology across species means that performance in unlisted species cannot be guaranteed without additional validation. For cross-species detection requirements or non-standard sample matrices, please contact BioHippo support or refer to the manufacturer's technical team for guidance.
