Product Summary for Human Relaxin-2 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human Relaxin-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human Relaxin-2 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human Relaxin-2 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human Relaxin-2 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 Relaxin-2.

Recovery for Human Relaxin-2 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of Relaxin-2 spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=4) 95 89-102
EDTA Plasma (n=4) 98 93-106
Heparin Plasma (n=4) 97 91-104
Serum (n=4) 101 92-107

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of Relaxin-2 were serially diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: Relaxin-2

The Insulin/Relaxin superfamily includes Insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II, Relaxins, Relaxin-like Factor (RLF), Early Placenta Insulin-like Peptide 4 (INSL4), INSL5, and INSL6. Three human Relaxin genes (Relaxins-1 to -3) have been identified. Relaxin-2 is secreted and circulates in the blood, whereas Relaxin-1 is expressed in decidua, placenta, and prostate, and Relaxin-3 is expressed in the brain. Human Relaxin-2 is a peptide hormone that plays an important role in female reproduction.
