ELISA: Direct: To detect hMIA-2 (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMIA-2. Sandwich: To detect hMIA-2 (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction with Polyclonal Anti-HumanMIA-2 as a capture antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant hMIA-2. Western blot: To detect hMIA-2 this antibody can be used at a concentration of0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detectionlimit for recombinant hMIA-2 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducingconditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
MIA2 (Melanoma inhibitory activity 2) is a secreted cytokine and a member of the MIA/OTOR family. It is predominantly expressed in hepatocytes and may play a role in the pathophysiology of liver disease. Elevated levels of MIA2 may represent a clinically useful marker for diagnosis of hepatic disease activity and severity. MIA2 may act as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma.Synonyms: Melanoma inhibitory activity protein 2
