Triiodothyronine, also known as T3, is a thyroid hormone. It affects almost every physiological process in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate. Production of T3 and its prohormone thyroxine (T4) is activated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from the anterior pituitary gland. This pathway is part of a closed-loop feedback process: Elevated concentrations of T3, and T4 in the blood plasma inhibit the production of TSH in the anterior pituitary gland. As concentrations of these hormones decrease, the anterior pituitary gland increases production of TSH, and by these processes, a feedback control system stabilizes the amount of thyroid hormones that are in the bloodstream.
Canine Tri-iodothyronine (T3) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate T3 in samples. An antibody specific for T3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyT3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for T3 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of T3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
