Product Summary
The Quantikine Human Cytochrome c Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human cytochrome c in cell lysates.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, six cell lysates containing high concentrations of Cytochrome c were diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
Preparation and Storage
Background: Cytochrome c
Cytochrome c is a small, highly conserved, heme-containing protein involved in mitochondrial electron transport. Cytochrome c is released from the mitochondria in response to pro-apoptotic stimuli and serves as a cofactor in initiating the activation of the APAF-1/Caspase-9 complex. The effect of specific proteins and/or small molecules on the initiation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway can be evaluated in an in vitro system of isolated mitochondria by monitoring the release of cytochrome c.
