Histamine is an endogenous short-acting biogenic amine synthesised from amino acid histidine and is widely distributed throughout the body. Histamine is an important mediator of immediate-type allergic reactions. Normally, there is a minimal amount of histamine circulating in the human body. An allergic reaction can occur when a substance enters the body (ie, food, chemicals, insect bites, oils from plants).
In response to the molecule, the body will then release larger quantities of histamine, which starts a cascade of events and begins an immune response. The body balances the histamine release by producing Epinephrine (adrenaline) which can help modulate the effects of histamine. When histamine is released, part of the cascade of events is inflammation.
The Enzo Life Sciences Histamine ELISA Kit is engineered to enable the ultra-sensitive detection of histamine in serum, plasma, urine and tissue culture media in just 2.5 hours. Its features include: sensitive measurement of histamine, detecting as little as 0.068 ng/ml; unique assay, does not require an additional acylation step; broad dynamic range, suitable for a large variety of samples; and high throughput format with results in 2.5 hours for up to 40 samples in duplicate.
The Enzo Life Sciences Histamine ELISA Kit is distributed by Sapphire Bioscience in Australia and New Zealand.
