Product Summary for Human Pentraxin 3/TSG-14 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human PTX3 Immunoassay is a 5.0 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human PTX3 in pretreated cell culture supernates, plasma, and saliva. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human PTX3 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using pretreated natural human PTX3 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human PTX3.

Background: Pentraxin 3/TSG-14

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), also known as TNF-stimulated gene 14 (TSG-14), is a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the Pentraxin family of proteins. It is the prototypical long Pentraxin, exhibiting a C-terminal Pentraxin domain characteristic of the family, and a unique N-terminal domain. It is produced by several cell types including endothelial and mononuclear cells. PTX3 acts as a pattern recognition receptor with non-redundant roles in the innate immune response to several microbial agents including the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Overexpression leads to enhanced pro-inflammatory responses. PTX3 is induced in response to LPS and inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta.
