Human Latent TGF-β1 ELISA kits
Pick the right ELISA kit for Human Latent TGF-β1. Our kits differ in what we put in the box and how you develop the signal – this page explains what those differences mean.
What differs between these kits
Whether a pre-coated plate is included
Some of our kits arrive with the plate already coated with the capture antibody, so you can start with your samples. Others supply the antibodies and standard only. Coating your own plate is more work, and it gives you control over the coating conditions and the plate.
Which detection system
Available with Streptavidin-ALP or Streptavidin-HRP. You add the streptavidin conjugate as a second incubation after the biotinylated antibody, which amplifies the signal. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) perform equivalently, so that choice usually comes down to the substrate and reader you already work with.
Supplied without a plate, streptavidin conjugate
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 1 plate
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 2 plates
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 10 plates
About TGF-β1 (Latent TGF-β1)
These Human Latent TGF-β1 ELISA kits target TGFB1 (Homo sapiens, Gene ID 7040).
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is secreted by many cells and controls functions such as cell growth, cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. The cytokine TGF-β1 is an important regulator of immune functions. Specifically for T cells, TGF-β1 promotes the differentiation of regulatory T cells, preventing IL-1- and IL-2-dependent proliferation of activated T cells, the activation of helper T cells, and cytotoxic T cells. TGF-β1 is secreted in a latent, biologically inactive form, non-covalently linked with a latency associated protein (LAP).
