MCP ELISA Kit (Human)

AHUS2; antigen identified by monoclonal antibody TRA-2-10; CD46 antigen, complement regulatory protein; CD46 molecule, complement regulatory protein; complement membrane cofactor protein; MCP; measles virus receptor; membrane cofactor protein; membrane cofactor protein (CD46, trophoblast-lymphocyte cross-reactive antigen) ; MIC10; TLX; TRA2.10; trophoblast leucocyte common antigen; trophoblast leukocyte common antigen; trophoblast-lymphocyte cross-reactive antigen.

Acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells against complement-mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. May be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization. Also acts as a costimulatory factor for T-cells which induces the differentiation of CD4+ into T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity.

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to the index. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to the index. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain the index, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +- 10nm. The concentration of the index in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of recombinant the index and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of the index in samples.
