Abcam's enzyme activity assays apply a novel approach, whereby target enzymes are first immunocaptured from tissue or cell samples before subsequent functional analysis. Dipstick ELISA Kits extend this concept by utilizing the well-established lateral flow concept, wherein capture antibodies are striped onto nitrocellulose membrane and a wicking pad draws the sample through the antibody bands. All of our ELISA kits utilize highly validated monoclonal antibodies and proprietary buffers, which are able to capture even very large enzyme complexes in their fully-intact, functionally-active states.

Figure 1. An example using ab109876 to measure Complex IV activity in fibroblast protein extracts. Developed dipsticks from a 1:2 dilution series using a positive control sample and the associated standard curve. Starting material was 100 µg of fibroblast protein extract.

Figure 2. An example using ab109876 to measure Complex IV activity in fibroblast protein extracts. Based on the standard curve, 50 µg of protein extract were loaded onto a dipstick for each sample. The figure shows four developed dipsticks, a control sample (1) and four unknowns (2-6). The analysis of the signal intensity and interpolation from the standard curve showed that the unknown samples have between 15-61% of normal Complex IV activity levels.
