Drg International Inc Igf-1 600 Elisa
Supplier: Drg International Inc EIA4140

An enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) in serum. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) is a polypeptide of 70 amino acids (7650 daltons), and is one of a number of related insulin-like growth factors present in the circulation. A single basal IGF-1 determination is useful in the assessment of short stature in children and in nutritional support studies of acutely ill patients. For the diagnosis of acromegaly, a single IGF-1 determination is considered more reliable than a random GH determination. The DRG IGF-1 600 ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), based on the principle of competitive binding. Patient samples, standards and controls are acidified and neutralized prior to the assay procedure. The microtiter wells are coated with a monoclonal antibody directed towards an antigenic site on the IGF-1 molecule.
