Application Note
ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution. For the detection of total PSA, use in ELISA as an antibody pair with GTX10186 coating and GTX10185 as conjugate. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Background
PSA is a protease present in seminal plasma. It is thought to function normally in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum, presumably by hydrolysis of the high molecular mass seminal vesicle protein. Serum levels of this protein are useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostatic carcinoma.
