Heparan Sulfate ELISA Kit
- The reactivity of the kit-2
Heparitinase digestive examination
  By Heparitinase digestive examination, the specificity of the Heparan sulfate in the various samples was checked with the Heparan Sulfate ELISA Kit.
Method
  At room temperature (15-25oC), the samples prepared was measured according to the protocol, prior to following heparitinase digestion for 2 hours. For the serum sample, Heparitinase digestion was performed after the serum had been pretreated with Actinase E.

* Culture Supernatant: RAW 264.7 (Abelson murine leukemia virus-induced tumor)
**Culture Medium: 10% FBS in alpha- MEM
Conclusion
  All samples had significant reactivity (OD value) prior to heparitinase digestion. However, this disappeared almost completely following the enzyme digestion with Heparitinase I as measured by the Heparan Sulfate ELISA Kit.
