Quantification

In this sandwich ELISA, Human Prolactin/Luteotropic Hormone(PRL/LTH) in the sample is captured between a pre-coated capture antibody and a detection antibody. Signal intensity is proportional to analyte concentration. Quantification uses a standard curve fitted with Curve Expert software, covering 40 μIU/mL-2000 μIU/mL with a minimum detectable dose of 50 μIU/mL.

For research use only (RUO). Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Validated in human serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates, cell lysates matrices only.
Description

Prolactin is a peptide hormone primarily produced by the anterior pituitary gland that plays essential roles in lactation, reproduction, and immune regulation. Beyond its classical function in stimulating milk production in mammary glands, prolactin influences numerous physiological processes including osmoregulation, metabolism, and maternal behavior. The hormone acts through prolactin receptors distributed throughout various tissues, making it an important mediator in both reproductive and non-reproductive functions. Dysregulation of prolactin levels is associated with various clinical conditions, making its measurement important for endocrine research and diagnostic applications. The Human Prolactin/Luteotropic Hormone ELISA Kit (CSB-E06883h) provides quantitative measurement of prolactin in human samples using a sandwich assay principle. This kit works with multiple sample types including serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates. The detection range spans 40-2000 μIU/mL with sensitivity of 50 μIU/mL. The assay requires 50-100 μL sample volume and can be completed within 1-5 hours, with detection performed at 450 nm wavelength. Application Examples Note: The following application examples are drawn from a selection of publications citing this product. For additional applications, please refer to the full list of references in the "Citations" section. This ELISA kit has been used in research measuring prolactin levels across different biological contexts and experimental conditions. Studies have applied the kit to measure prolactin in serum samples and tissue homogenates, supporting research into hormonal regulation and cellular processes. • Endocrine research: Determination of circulating prolactin levels in serum samples to evaluate hormonal status and regulation • Reproductive biology: Analysis of decidual prolactin as a marker of decidualization in endometrial stromal cells during in vitro studies examining cellular differentiation processes • Breast tissue analysis: Quantification of prolactin levels in homogenized breast tissues alongside proliferation markers to study tissue-specific hormonal profiles
