ELISA: Direct: To detect hNAP-2 by direct ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL is required. In conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hNAP-2. Sandwich: To detect hNAP-2 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. In conjunction withPolyclonal Anti-Human NAP-2 as a capture antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 -0.4 ng/well of recombinant hNAP-2. Western Blot: To detect hNAP-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hNAP-2 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

NAP2 is a platelet-derived growth factor that belongs to the CXC chemokine family. This growth factor is a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils. It has been shown to stimulate various cellular processes including DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, and sythesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by synovial cells.Synonyms: C-X-C motif chemokine 7, CTAP3, Leukocyte-derived growth factor, Macrophage-derived growth factor, SCYB7, Small-inducible cytokine B7, TGB1, THBGB1
