Product Overview: Why Measure Human IgG?
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody isotype in human serum, representing approximately 75–80 % of total immunoglobulins. It plays a central role in the secondary immune response, providing long‑term protection against pathogens through opsonization, neutralization, complement activation, and antibody‑dependent cellular cytotoxicity. IgG is also the only isotype that crosses the placenta, conferring passive immunity to the foetus.
Accurate quantification of Human IgG is fundamental for:
- Evaluating humoral immune status
- Diagnosing and monitoring immunodeficiencies (e.g., common variable immunodeficiency, IgG subclass deficiencies)
- Assessing vaccine responses
- Investigating autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
- Monitoring therapeutic monoclonal antibody levels
- Research on infection, inflammation, and allergy
Yanda Bio’s Human Immunoglobulin G (IgG) ELISA Kit uses a sensitive sandwich immunoassay format to deliver precise, reproducible results. As a professional manufacturer with > 6,000 detectable targets and long‑standing collaborations with over 60 Chinese universities, we combine deep expertise with rigorous quality control to support your immunology and clinical research.
Superior Quality Metrics
- Intra‑assay CV < 5 % — excellent within‑run precision
- Inter‑assay CV < 8 % — outstanding run‑to‑run consistency
- High specificity — no cross‑reactivity with human IgA, IgM, or other serum proteins

Assay Principle: Sandwich ELISA
This kit uses a solid‑phase sandwich enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay. The microplate is pre‑coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for human IgG. Standards and samples are added, allowing IgG to bind to the immobilised antibody. After washing, a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)‑conjugated detection antibody is added, forming an antibody‑antigen‑antibody “sandwich”. Following a second wash, TMB substrate is added. The HRP enzyme catalyses a blue colour that turns yellow upon acidification. The optical density (OD) at 450 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of IgG in the sample.
Sample Dilution Note: Samples are pre‑diluted 5‑fold during the procedure; multiply results by 5 to obtain actual concentrations.
Sample Collection & Preparation
| Sample Type | Collection & Processing |
|---|---|
| Serum | Use pyrogen/endotoxin‑free tubes. Avoid cell stimulation. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. |
| Plasma | Use EDTA, citrate or heparin anticoagulant. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 30 minutes. |
| Cell Supernatant | Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove particles. |
| Tissue Homogenate | Homogenise tissue in PBS (1:9 w/v), centrifuge at 5000×g for 10 minutes at 2–8 °C. Collect supernatant. |
| Storage | Aliquot and store at –20 °C (≤ 1 month) or –80 °C (≤ 2 months). Avoid repeated freeze‑thaw cycles. |
Materials Required But Not Provided
- Microplate reader (450 nm)
- Precision pipettes and tips (0.5–10 μL, 2–20 μL, 20–200 μL, 200–1000 μL)
- 37 °C incubator or water bath
Important Notes for Assay Procedure
- Store the kit at 2–8 °C. Bring all reagents to room temperature for 20 minutes before use. Concentrated wash buffer may crystallise; dissolve crystals in a warm water bath.
- Return unused strips to the resealable bag with desiccant and store at 2–8 °C. Use promptly.
- The S0 standard (zero concentration) is the negative control/blank. Multiply final results by 5 (dilution factor).
- Strictly adhere to incubation times, volumes and sequence.
- Mix all liquid components thoroughly before use.
Reagent Preparation
20× Wash Buffer Dilution: Dilute 1 part 20× wash buffer with 19 parts distilled water to obtain 1× working wash buffer.
Washing Method
Manual: Aspirate liquid, fill each well with wash buffer, stand for 1 min, aspirate, and tap dry on absorbent paper. Repeat 5 times.
Automatic washer: Inject 350 μL per well, soak for 1 min, wash 5 times.
Assay Procedure
- Remove required strips after 20 min equilibration. Reseal unused strips and return to 4 °C.
- Standard wells: add 50 μL of each standard concentration.
- Sample wells: add 10 μL sample + 40 μL sample diluent. Blank wells: leave empty.
- Add 100 μL HRP‑conjugated detection antibody to all wells except blanks. Seal and incubate at 37 °C for 60 min.
- Aspirate, wash 5 times (manual or automatic).
- Add 50 μL Substrate A and 50 μL Substrate B to each well. Incubate at 37 °C in the dark for 15 min.
- Add 50 μL stop solution. Measure OD at 450 nm within 15 min.
Data Analysis
Plot standard curve: OD values (y‑axis) vs. standard concentrations (x‑axis) in Excel or curve‑fitting software (linear regression, R ≥ 0.9900). Calculate sample concentrations from the curve, then multiply by the dilution factor (5×).
