Product Summary for Human Progranulin Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human Progranulin immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure Progranulin in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, and human milk. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human Progranulin and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural Progranulin 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 Progranulin.

Specificity

Natural and recombinant human Progranulin. Trypsin and Elastase cleaved Progranulin show reduced recognition in this assay, demonstrating specificity for Progranulin.

Cross-reactivity

< 0.5% cross-reactivity observed with available related molecules. < 50% cross-species reactivity observed with species tested.

Interference

No significant interference observed with available related molecules.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Background: Progranulin/PGRN

Progranulin, also known as Acrogranin, PCDGF, and Epithelin/Granulin Precursor, is a widely expressed glycoprotein that can undergo proteolysis to generate numerous Granulin peptides. Progranulin plays a role in the regulation of mesothelial differentiation, macrophage development, sexual differentiation of the brain, cartilage proliferation, wound repair, and the development of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It is often upregulated in cancer and contributes to tumor progression. Progranulin upregulation or mutation is associated with several neurological disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and motor neuron disease.
