Product Summary for Human sTransferrin Receptor/sTfR Quantikine ELISA, RUO

The Quantikine Human sTfR Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human sTfR in serum and plasma. Results obtained using natural human sTfR 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 natural human sTfR.

Product Specifications

Measurement

Quantitative ELISA

Detection Method

Colorimetric - 450nm (TMB)

Specificity

This assay recognizes natural human sTfR. 

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 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 Human sTransferrin Receptor/sTfR Quantikine ELISA, RUO

The recovery of human sTfR spiked to three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
EDTA Plasma (n=4) 107 98-114
Heparin Plasma (n=4) 107 96-119
Serum (n=4) 109 94-116

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples spiked with high concentrations of human sTfR in various matrices were diluted with the calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: TfR (Transferrin R)

Transferrin receptors are transmembrane, homodimeric proteins that play a role in iron transport, uptake, and storage. TfR is an essential receptor, found on almost all cell types, regulated by intracellular iron concentration, and has a high affiinity for transferrin. Soluble TfR (sTfR) arises from the proteolysis of TfR into monomers that can be measured in plasma and serum. TfR2 has limited tissue distribution (hepatocytes and enterocytes), is regulated by the cell cycle, and binds transferrin poorly.
