Product Summary for Mouse/Rat Leptin Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine® Mouse/Rat Leptin Immunoassay is a 4.0 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse or rat Leptin in cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse Leptin and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse Leptin accurately. Results obtained for naturally occurring mouse or rat Leptin showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine® kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse or rat Leptin.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using two lots of components.

Background: Leptin/OB

Leptin is a product of the mouse obese gene. Mice with mutations in the obese gene that block the synthesis of leptin are obese and diabetic, and have reduced activity, metabolism, and body temperature. Rat leptin shares approximately 96% and 82% sequence identity with the mouse and human protein, respectively. The expression of leptin mRNA is restricted to adipose tissue.
