Comment:

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the pentaxin family.

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: rat SAP ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for SAP has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, Q21-S228) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for SAP is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the rat SAP amount of sample captured in plate.

Assay Procedure:

Aliquot 0.1 mL per well of the 100 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL, 25 ng/mL, 1.25 ng/mL, 6.25 ng/mL, 3.12 ng/mL, 1.56 ng/mL rat SAP standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 mL of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 mL of each properly diluted sample of rat cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. See "Sample Dilution Guideline" above for details. We recommend that each rat SAP standard solution and each sample is measured in duplicate.

Assay Precision:

• Sample 1: n=16, Mean(ng/ml): 5.68, Standard deviation: 0.33, CV(%): 5.8
• Sample 2: n=16, Mean(ng/ml): 21, Standard deviation: 0.882, CV(%): 4.2
• Sample 3: n=16, Mean(ng/ml): 42, Standard deviation: 2.1, CV(%): 5,
• Sample 1: n=24, Mean(ng/ml): 5.2, Standard deviation: 0.39, CV(%): 7.5
• Sample 2: n=24, Mean(ng/ml): 24, Standard deviation: 1.296, CV(%): 5.4

Background:

Background: Amyloid P component, serum(SAP), also known as PTX2 or APCS, is the identical serum form of amyloid P component(AP), a 25 kDa pentameric protein first identified as the pentagonal constituent of in vivo pathological deposits called "amyloid". It belongs to the pentraxins family, characterised by calcium dependent ligand binding and distinctive flattened beta-jellyroll structure similar to that of the legume lectins. This gene is mapped to 1q23.2. The binding of the encoded protein to proteins in the pathological amyloid cross-beta fold suggests its possible role as a chaperone. This protein is also thought to control the degradation of chromatin. It has been demonstrated that this protein binds to apoptotic cells at an early stage, which raises the possibility that it is involved in dealing with apoptotic cells in vivo.
