Product Summary for Mouse RAGE Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse RAGE Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse RAGE levels in cell culture supernates, tissue lysates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse RAGE and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse RAGE accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse RAGE showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse RAGE.

Precision

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

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using two lots of components.

Recovery for Mouse RAGE Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of mouse RAGE spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Samples (n=4) 108 94-120
EDTA Plasma (n=4) 101 87-118
Heparin Plasma (n=4) 111 96-120
Serum (n=4) 107 90-117

Urine (n=4) 109 96-120

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing high concentrations of mouse RAGE were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. Samples were diluted prior to assay.

Background: RAGE/AGER

RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End product) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds advanced glycation end products (AGEs), beta-amyloid peptides, HMGB1/Amphoterin, and several S100 family proteins. AGEs are adducts formed by the non-enzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins and lipids. A soluble form can also be generated by MMP-mediated shedding. RAGE is expressed in the CNS during development as well as in adult endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, monocytes, and neurons. It is locally upregulated in vascular inflammation (e.g. diabetes, atherosclerosis, vascular injury, Alzheimer’s disease). At these sites, RAGE binding to S100A1, EN-RAGE/S100A12, or S100B induces inflammatory immune cell adhesion and infiltration as well as vascular smooth muscle proliferation, neointimal expansion, atherosclerotic plaque development, and transport of A-beta into the cerebrospinal fluid. In cancer, RAGE binding to HMGB1, S100A8, or S100A9 promotes tumor growth and metastasis in addition to inflammatory cell infiltration.
