Reactivity

Human

Specificity

The cross reactivity and interference of circulating factors of the immune system was evaluated by spiking these proteins at physiologically relevant concentrations into a human PMN Elastase positive sample. There was no cross reactivity or interference detected.

Description

The human PMN elastase ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human PMN elastase

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) CV% < 4.80%

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) CV% < 5.60%

Background: Neutrophil Elastase/ELA2

The human organism reacts with an inflammatory response to attacks of invading pathogens (microorganisms and viruses) or damaged tissue (after accidents or surgery). Polymorphonuclear (PMN) granulocytes play an important role as primary defence cells in this inflammatory reaction. Different bloodstream mediators (cytokines, leukotrienes, complement factors, bacterial endotoxins, clotting and fibrinolysis factors) attract and stimulate these cells to phagocytize and destroy not naturally occurring agents. PMN granulocytes use proteinases to digest these agents and tissue debris. One of these proteinases is PMN elastase which is localised in the azurophilic granules of the polymorphonuclear granulocytes. During phagocytosis of foreign substances these enzymes are also partially excreted into the extracellular surrounding, where the activity of PMN elastase is regulated by inhibitors (esp. the alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor, alpha 1- PI). An overwhelming release of PMN elastase, however, can exceed the inhibitory potential of the alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor. Thus, enzymatically active PMN elastase, together with simultaneously produced oxidants (O2-radicals, H2O, OH-radicals), can cause local tissue injury. Due to the bloodstream and lymphatic system, however, alpha 1-PI is delivered subsequently and eventually able to form a complex with all excreted elastase. Therefore, the concentration of the PMN elastase/alpha 1- PI complex correlates with the released PMN elastase and can be used as a measure for the activity of granulocytes during an inflammatory response. Primarily, determinations of PMN elastase find its application in observation of the course of trauma, shock and sepsis. Further indications are the areas of hemodialysis, infections by obstetrics, joint diseases, effusions of sport injuries, intestinal affection, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis and male adnex affections.
