Product overview
Fibrinogen in vitro CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Fibrinogen protein in human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, and cell culture supernatant samples.
This CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kit has been optimized for Molecular Devices Microplate Readers. Click here for a list of recommended Microplate Readers.
If using a Molecular Devices’ plate reader supported by SoftMax® Pro software, a preconfigured protocol for these CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA Kits is available with all the protocol and analysis settings at www.softmaxpro.org.
The CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. CatchPoint HRP Development Solution containing the Stoplight Red Substrate is added. During incubation, the substrate is catalyzed by HRP generating a fluorescent product. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured in a fluorescence plater reader at 530/570/590 nm Excitation/Cutoff/Emission.
Fibrinogen is a heterohexamer of molecular mass 340 kDa, made up of two sets of alpha, beta, gamma polypeptide chains, and synthesized in the parenchymal cell of the hepatocyte and in the megakaryocyte. Fibrinogen plays a major role in coagulation, and both elevated and decreased levels have clinical significance. Upon cleavage by thrombin in the initial stages of coagulation activation, Fibrinogen self-assembles to yield a fibrin clot matrix that subsequently is crosslinked by factor XIIIa to form an insoluble network. Fibrinogen also binds to the platelet glycoprotein IIb and IIIa receptor so as to form bridges between platelets, thus facilitating aggregation. Elevated plasma Fibrinogen has been identified as an independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease. Individuals with congenital absence of Fibrinogen, termed afibrinogenemia, have prolonged bleeding times. Defects in Fibrinogen, alpha are a cause of amyloidosis type 8 (AMYL8) also known as systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis or Ostertag-type amyloidosis.

Function
Fibrinogen has a double function: yielding monomers that polymerize into fibrin and acting as a cofactor in platelet aggregation. -
Tissue specificity
Plasma. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in FGA are a cause of congenital afibrinogenemia (CAFBN) [MIM:202400]. This is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bleeding that varies from mild to severe and by complete absence or extremely low levels of plasma and platelet fibrinogen. Note=The majority of cases of afibrinogenemia are due to truncating mutations. Variations in position Arg-35 (the site of cleavage of fibrinopeptide a by thrombin) leads to alpha-dysfibrinogenemias.
Defects in FGA are a cause of amyloidosis type 8 (AMYL8) [MIM:105200]; also known as systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis or Ostertag-type amyloidosis. AMYL8 is a hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to deposition of apolipoprotein A1, fibrinogen and lysozyme amyloids. Viscera are particularly affected. There is no involvement of the nervous system. Clinical features include renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 fibrinogen C-terminal domain. -
Domain
A long coiled coil structure formed by 3 polypeptide chains connects the central nodule to the C-terminal domains (distal nodules). The long C-terminal ends of the alpha chains fold back, contributing a fourth strand to the coiled coil structure. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe alpha chain is not glycosylated.
Forms F13A-mediated cross-links between a glutamine and the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue, forming fibronectin-fibrinogen heteropolymers.
About one-third of the alpha chains in the molecules in blood were found to be phosphorylated.
Conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin is triggered by thrombin, which cleaves fibrinopeptides A and B from alpha and beta chains, and thus exposes the N-terminal polymerization sites responsible for the formation of the soft clot. The soft clot is converted into the hard clot by factor XIIIA which catalyzes the epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine cross-linking between gamma chains (stronger) and between alpha chains (weaker) of different monomers.
Phosphorylation sites are present in the extracellular medium. -

Example of human Fibrinogen standard curve in Sample Diluent NS.The Fibrinogen standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data generated on SpectraMax M4 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.

Interpolated concentrations of native Fibrinogen in human serum and plasma samples.The concentrations of Fibrinogen were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Fibrinogen standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1:670, plasma (citrate) 1:5x105, plasma (EDTA) 1:5x105, and plasma (heparin) 1:5x105. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Fibrinogen concentration was determined to be 3.45 µg/mL in serum, 2.86 mg/mL in plasma (citrate), 2.96 mg/mL in plasma (EDTA), and 2.64 mg/mL in plasma (heparin).
