Thyroxine is a hormone the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, thyroxine travels to the organs, like the liver and kidneys, where it is converted to its active form of triiodothyronine. Thyroxine plays a crucial role in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health and muscle control. It affects almost all of the body's systems, which means proper thyroxine levels are vital for health. This is why many doctors will test T4 levels along with the more common T3 levels when testing for thyroid disorders.
Chicken Thyroxine (T4) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate T4 in samples. An antibody specific for T4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyT4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for T4 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 T4 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
