Overview

  • Product name

    Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit
    See all Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 kits

  • Detection method

    Colorimetric

  • Sample type

    Cell culture extracts, Tissue Extracts

  • Assay type

    Enzyme activity (quantitative)

  • Species reactivity

    Reacts with: Mammals, Other species

  • Product overview

    Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090) can be used to determine the activity of cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in purified preparations, cell cultures, or tissue homogenates. Use of this assay with preparations containing more than one type of PLA2 will result in the measurement of total PLA2 activity rather than cPLA2 alone.

    If you want to detect secretory PLA2, we recommend using Secretory Phospholipase Assay Kit (ab133089).

Question

Should I warm up components to room temperature before use? I do not have compressed Nitrogen, do you have any other suggestions for evaporating the ethanol in the substrate?

Answer

Since this is an enzymatic assays, the kit components should not be ice cold when it is performed. However, the DNTB should be kept on ice. If you do not have access to dry nitrogen gas, you can use a vacuum centrifuge to evaporate the ethanol from the substrate.

Question

Dear Supplier,

We would like to help our customer by ordering them your product. For regulatory purposes we need to know the volume ethanol content of the kit performed according to European legislation in advance.could you please provide the data for this product.

Thank you in advance.

Answer

Thank you for contacting us and your interest in our products.

I can confirm that the Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090), does contain ethanol. There are 2 vials of Arachidonoyl Thio-PC (Substrate). Each vial contains 10 ml of ethanol. There is therefore a total of 20 mL of ethanol in the kit.

I hope this information has been of help. Please feel free to contact me with future technical questions.

Question

Dear Sir/Madam,








I am Dr Christina Kanonidou and I am interested in an assay kit for the determination of Lp-PLA2 (PAF-AH) activity in plasma/serum for a research protocol.

I would be grateful if you could inform me whether you have such a kit available and if yes, could you please forward the relevant prospectous to me?

It would also be much appreciated if you could inform me about the cost of it and if there is a distributor of your products in Greece.



Thank you in advance.



With kind regards,

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.

I am sorry to confirm that we do not offer a kit for the measurement of the activity specifically of Lp-PLA2 (phospholipase A2, group VII (platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, plasma) = Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 = PLA2G7).

Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 Assay Kit (ab133090) can be used to determine the activity of cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2, PLA2G4 = Phospholipase A2, group IVA (cytosolic, calcium-dependent)) in purified preparations, cell cultures, or tissue homogenates.
Use of this assay with preparations containing more than one type of PLA2 will result in the measurement of total PLA2 activity rather than cPLA2 alone.

Maybe this kit would be suitable for you?
