Product Information
KE00686 is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The human MAGEA4 ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous human MAGEA4. The assay recognizes human MAGEA4. An antibody specific for human MAGEA4 has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The human MAGEA4 protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for human MAGEA4 is added to detect the captured human MAGEA4 protein. For signal development, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

Background Information
MAGEA4 is a member of the MAGEA family, which belongs to chromosome X-clustered cancer/testis antigens. MAGEA4 is expressed in various human cancers but not in normal tissues besides the testis. High expression of MAGE-A4 in tumors was correlated with poor prognosis in many tumor types.

FAQ
1、I have limited sample diluent. How should I handle samples requiring high dilution factors?
Answer: We recommend performing a serial dilution. For example, if human serum requires a 1,000,000-fold dilution, you can use a three-step 100× dilution method as follows:
Step 1: Take 2 uL of human serum and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 100-fold diluted sample.
Step 2: Take 2 uL of the 100-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 10,000-fold diluted sample.
Step 3: Take 2 uL of the 10,000-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 1,000,000-fold diluted sample.
If further dilution is required, additional serial steps can be used. We do not recommend using any other solutions or water for dilution, except for the sample diluent we suggest. If your sample diluent is still insufficient, please contact our customer service for more sample diluent.
