ELISA Bovine Dihydrolipoyl Transacetylase (DLAT)

Reactivity:Bovine (Bos taurus; Cattle) UniProt:P11180 Abbreviation:DLAT Alternative Names:DLTA; PDC-E2; PDCE2; 70 kDa mitochondrial autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis|E2 component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex|M2 antigen complex 70 kDa subunit Application:ELISA Range:Request Information Sensitivity:Request Information Intra-AssayCV:?3.4% Inter-AssayCV:?7.3% Recovery:0.91 Sample Type:Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids Detection Method:Sandwich Analysis Method??:Quantitive Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate DLAT in samples. An antibody specific for DLAT has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyDLAT present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjµgated antibody specific for DLAT is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjµgated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of DLAT bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Product Overview:Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase is the component E2 of the mµLti-enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). PDC resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A. The protein product of this gene, dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, accepts acetyl groups formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and transfers them to coenzyme A. Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase is the antigen for antimitochondrial antibodies. These autoantibodies are present in nearly 95% of patients with the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In PBC, activated T lymphocytes attack and destroy epithelial cells in the bile duct where this protein is abnormally distributed and overexpressed. PBC enventually leads to cirrhosis and liver failure. Stability:The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test. Keep the kit at 37°C for 4 and 7 days, and compare O.D.values of the kit kept at 37°C with that of at recommended temperature. (referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calcµLated by the Arrhenius equation. For ELISA kit, 4 days storage at 37°C can be considered as 6 months at 2 - 8°C, which means 7 days at 37°C equaling 12 months at 2 - 8°C).
