Human PyV (Polyomavirus) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for researchers seeking to accurately quantify Polyomavirus levels in human samples such as serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and cell or tissue lysates. This kit provides high sensitivity and excellent specificity, ensuring precise and consistent results across a wide range of research applications. Human Polyomaviruses are small, non-enveloped DNA viruses that establish lifelong persistent infections in healthy individuals and can reactivate under conditions of immunosuppression. Several human Polyomaviruses, including BK virus, JC virus, and Merkel cell Polyomavirus, are clinically significant and have been linked to a range of diseases such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in immunocompromised patients, and Merkel cell carcinoma, making them valuable biomarkers for monitoring viral load, disease progression, and therapeutic response. With the Human PyV (Polyomavirus) ELISA Kit, researchers can confidently study the role of Polyomaviruses in viral persistence, immune evasion, and disease pathogenesis, supporting the advancement of virology, oncology, transplantation medicine, and the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

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 and 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 to 20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction and 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 and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2 to 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.
