Product overview
Human Beclin-1 ELISA Kit (ab254511) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Beclin-1 protein in cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Beclin-1 with 671 ng/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
Beclin-1, also known as BECN1, plays a key role in the regulation of autophagy and cell death. Together with PI3KC3, Beclin-1 nucleates autophagosome formation and is essential for proper degradation of cellular components. Improper beclin-1 signaling is associated with schizophrenia, tumorigenesis, and neurodegeneration.

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

The Beclin-1 standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
-
The concentrations of Beclin-1 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the Beclin-1 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Beclin-1 concentration was determined to be 10.03 ng/mL.
