LCN2 Chemi-Luminescent ELISA Kit (Mouse)

• Reproducibility:

  Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

• Target:

  Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation: iron-loaded form increases intracellular iron concentration without promoting apoptosis, while iron-free form decreases intracellular iron levels, inducing expression of the proapoptotic protein BCL2L11/BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Involved in innate immunity, possibly by sequestrating iron, leading to limit bacterial growth.

• Type:

  ELISA Kit

• Applications:

  Chemiluminescent immunoassay

• Detection Method:

  Chemiluminescent

• Assay Principle:

  The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) . Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) . Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) level in the sample or standard.
