Product Summary for Human Galectin-9 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human Galectin-9 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human Galectin-9 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, and human milk. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human Galectin-9 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human Galectin-9 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 Galectin-9.

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.

Background: Galectin-9

The galectins constitute a large family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that function in many systems both intracellularly and following secretion. Galectins contain either one or two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRR) which mediate recognition of N-acetyl-lactosamine-containing glycoproteins. Some galectins exist in multiple isoforms due to alternative splicing. Individual galectins differ in their tissue distribution and in their carbohydrate-binding specificities.
