TK
210 ELISA
, manufactured by AroCell is offered in EagleBio’s Cancer Biomarker Assay Line. The Cancer
Biomarker Assay Kit Line offered Eagle Biosciences provides a comprehensive
array of sensitive and valuable tools to assist researchers in new emerging
market segments in cancer research such as tumor marker and anti-tumor therapy
investigation.

Our TK
210 ELISA
is a convenient, simple test as well as the most sensitive
ELISA for measuring TK1.

Why Measure Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1)?

The enzyme Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1) is up-regulated in
tumor cells from which it is released into the blood during their turnover.
Increased serum TK1 protein has been discovered to be associated with tumor
growth. TK1 up-regulation may be an early event in cancer development and TK1
may even be elevated in pre-cancerous conditions.1

Although TK1 activity is a valuable biomarker it has
limitations in that most current methods are based on enzyme activity
assays.The AroCell TK 210 ELISA test, based on two monoclonal antibodies
specific for a unique TK1 amino acid sequence (194-225), brings the
specificity, sensitivity and robustness of immunoassay to the assay of serum
TK1.2

Key Advantages of TK 210 ELISA:

  • Most
    Sensitive ELISA for measuring TK1
  • Simple
    ELISA procedure with same day results
  • Accurately
    measure both Active & Inactive TK1
  • Solid
    tumors do not affect results unlike other methods for measuring TK1
  • Strong
    Evidence that TK210 can be used successfully with traditional cancer
    markers like CA15-3
  • Use
    with both Serum or Tissue samples

Chromogranin A ELISA

Chromogranin A ELISA is for Research Use Only.

Eagle Biosciences’ Chromogranin A ELISA in our Cancer Biomarker Assay Kit Line. The Cancer Biomarker Assay Kit Line offered Eagle Biosciences provides a comprehensive array of sensitive and valuable tools to assist researchers in new emerging market segments in cancer research such as tumor marker and antitumor therapy investigation.

Our Chromogranin A ELISA is one of the unique assays in the this Cancer Biomarker Assay Kit Line that offers excellent  sensitivity, precise results in under 3 hours, and exclusive measurement of human chromogranin A without the high dose “hook” effect up to 1,000,000 ng/ml.

Why Measure Chromogranin A?

Chromogranin A (CgA) is a 49 kDa acidic protein that consists of 439 amino acids encoded on chromosome 14. It has been identified in a number of normal and neoplastic endocrine tissues. In fact, chromogranin A is a highly sensitive and specific marker for pheochromocytoma, carcinoids, and other neuroendocrine tumors (NET) [1]. Molina et. al describes “CgA is one of the most used tumor markers in NETs, and elevated CgA concentrations have been demonstrated in serum or plasma of patients with different types of these tumors [2].”

The measurement of Chromogranin A  provides incredible value to scientists studying numerous areas of cancer research beyond other biomarkers utilized for the detection, evaluation, and monitoring of specific tumor types.

Key Advantages of EagleBio’s Chromogranin ELISA, CHR31-K01

  • Excellent Sensitivity
  • Precise results under 3 hours
  • Measures CgA without the high dose “hook” effect up to 1,000,000 ng/ml.
  • Competitive Price

Introducing the TK 210 ELISA assay kit from AroCell, the most sensitive assay available for measuring Thymadine Kinase 1 (TK1). TK1 is a key enzyme in DNA replication and it is up-regulated in proliferating cells. Many studies have shown it to be a valuable cancer biomarker but most previous assays have been activity based and underestimate TK1 in solid tumors.&nbspRead More
