  • Product overview

    Lipoprotein A Human in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Lipoprotein A concentrations in plasma, serum, urine, milk, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cell culture supernatants.


    A Lipoprotein A specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Lipoprotein A specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Lipoprotein A captured in plate.


    The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Function

    Apo(a) is the main constituent of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). It has serine proteinase activity and is able of autoproteolysis. Inhibits tissue-type plasminogen activator 1. Lp(a) may be a ligand for megalin/Gp 330.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.
    Contains 38 kringle domains.
    Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    N- and O-glycosylated. The N-glycans are complex biantennary structures present in either a mono- or disialylated state. The O-glycans are mostly (80%) represented by the monosialylated core type I structure, NeuNAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-3GalNAc, with smaller amounts of disialylated and non-sialylated O-glycans also detected.

      Question



      I would like to know if the antibodies (capture and detection) in the Lp(a) ELISA kit (ab108878) are monolclonal or polyclonal? Also, what region of the Lp(a) molecule are antibodies specific towards?

      Answer



      I can confirm that the antibody used in the kit are polyclonal. I am sorry that the immunogen is confidential in this case.

      Answer

      Thank you for contacting Abcam Technical Team and for taking the time to provide some useful details of the experiments. I am very sorry to hear that your customer is having problems with this product. We have tested ab108878 batch: GR57178 and it has passed QC. Though you have kindly provided some details, it would be much appreciated if I could get some more information which would help me identify the source of the problem. - How did the customer prepare the std points and the samples? - How did she dilute biotin? - How did she dilute SP? Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to solve this problem as soon as possible.

      Question

      Dear technical team, Our customer purchased 3 of ab108878 and has some questions.   1. Her sample is plasma and following protocol page 14, she diluted her plasma sample as 1:8000. I don't know this table means dilution factor for each samples so, please let me know if it is right. 2. She used one kit and applied standard and samples but, any of well changed blue after adding substrate even standard.   She is going to try another one of kit and needs sample dilution information.   Check this please  Best regards,

      Asked on Oct 05 2011

      Answer

      Thank you for contacting us. The information regarding the sample and standard dilutions is included under Point 6 of the Protocol “Preparation of Reagents” (Page 7). As you mention, for plasma samples, the recommended dilution is 1/8000. The table on page 14 refers to the linearity obtained for different sample types at different dilutions. The best % results for Plasma are those obtained at dilutions 1/8000 (101% of expected value). When using Serum sample, the most accurate value is obtained when diluting the samples 1/8000, for Milk the optimal dilution is 1/4000, whereas for Urine, 100% of the expected value is obtained when diluting 1/4. In the case you are still experiencing problems with any of the other kits, please do let us know, and we will be happy to help you. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
