Product overview
ab109912 (MS747) is a novel assay that uses a high affinity monoclonal capture antibody to selectively isolate MAOB from all other peroxidases and oxidases (including MAOA) in a tissue or cultured cell sample. After isolation and subsequent measurement of the enzyme's functional activity, the quantity of isolated MAOB is measured in the same well by adding a second monoclonal detector antibody, which is quantified using a colorimetric label (HRP). Both reactions take place in time-dependent manners proportional to the amount of enzyme captured in each well. By combining activity and quantity measurements, the enzyme's relative specific activity can be determined. Specific activity is useful for measuring up or down regulation of activity by site-specific modification or damage, and in response to specific inhibitors.

Sandwich ELISA - Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) Specific Activity Assay Kit (ab109912)Abcam's protein quantity microplate assays use the well-established sandwich ELISA format, whereby capture and detector antibodies are used to immobilize and then quantify a target protein or enzyme. All of our microplate assays utilize our highly-validated immunocapture antibodies, which are able to capture large, multi-subunit enzyme complexes in their fully intact state. Capture antibodies are pre-coated in the wells of premium Nunc MaxiSorp™ modular microplates, which can be broken into 8-well strips. After the target has been immobilized in the well, a second monoclonal antibody, against a different epitope on the target, is added to the well. This detector antibody is either directly labeled with biotin, or a biotin-labeled goat anti-mouse secondary is added. Substrate plus HRP or AP conjugated to streptavidin provide a colorimetric signal that is readable by any plate readers capable of standard ELISA absorbance measurements.
