The Mouse OPG (Osteoprotegerin) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for analyzing OPG levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, delivering reliable and consistent results for various research purposes. OPG is a key regulator of bone metabolism, acting as a decoy receptor for RANKL and inhibiting osteoclast formation and activity. Dysregulation of OPG has been linked to various bone disorders, including osteoporosis and bone metastasis in cancer.
By accurately measuring OPG levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into bone physiology and disease mechanisms, paving the way for potential therapeutic interventions. Overall, the Mouse OPG ELISA Kit is an indispensable tool for studying bone biology, osteoporosis, and related conditions in mouse models, providing researchers with valuable data to advance their scientific inquiries.

Note:The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect supernatant.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect protein supernatant.
