Product Summary for Mouse Pentraxin 2/SAP Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse PTX2/SAP Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse PTX2/SAP in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse PTX2/SAP and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant factor accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse PTX2/SAP 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 PTX2/SAP.

Background: Pentraxin 2/SAP

Pentraxin or Pentraxin 2 (PTX2), also known as Serum Amyloid P component (SAP), is a secreted serum glycoprotein belonging to the pentraxin superfamily. Pentraxins have a characteristic pentagonal discoid arrangement of five non-covalently bound subunits and bind a variety of molecules in a calcium- dependent lectin-like manner through a pattern-recognition-binding site. PTX2 is a major acute-phase protein and may function as an opsonin for a variety of ligands. PTX2 also associates ubiquitously with all amyloid deposits implicated in diseases including Alzheimer's and prion diseases, type 2 diabetes and various systemic amyloidoses.
