Format: 96-well plate

Form: 96 Tests

Species Reactivity: human, mouse, rat

Sensitivity: <4 ng/ml

Assay Range: 0.78-50 ng/ml

Assay Time: 4 h

Sample Type: Cells

Kit Contents: Coated 96-Well Plate, c-Met Standard, Diluents, Detector Antibody, Secondary Antibody, Wash Buffer, TMB Substrate, Stop Solution, Plate Sealers, and a user protocol.

Comments: Detects and quantifies the levels of c-Met protein independent of its phosphorylation state. The ligand for c-Met, HGF/SF, is a member of the plasminogen-related growth factor family, which is synthesized as an inactive pro-form. HGF/SF stimulation of c-Met expressing cells enhances proliferation, migration, morphogenesis, and protease synthesis, characteristics that are associated with invasive cell phenotype. This kit is designed for use with human samples.
