Human Fibrillin 1 (FBN1) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human FBN1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human FBN1. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Human FBN1, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Human FBN1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

For use with: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Fibrillin-1Structural component of the 10-12 nm diameter microfibrils of the extracellular matrix, which conveys both structural and regulatory properties to load-bearing connective tissues (PubMed:1860873, PubMed:15062093). Fibrillin-1-containing microfibrils provide long-term force bearing structural support (PubMed:27026396). In tissues such as the lung, blood vessels and skin, microfibrils form the periphery of the elastic fiber, acting as a scaffold for the deposition of elastin (PubMed:27026396). In addition, microfibrils can occur as elastin-independent networks in tissues such as the ciliary zonule, tendon, cornea and glomerulus where they provide tensile strength and have anchoring roles (PubMed:27026396). Fibrillin-1 also plays a key role in tissue homeostasis through specific interactions with growth factors, such as the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) and latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding proteins (LTBPs), cell-surface integrins and other extracellular matrix protein and proteoglycan components (PubMed:27026396). Regulates osteoblast maturation by controlling TGF-beta bioavailability and calibrating TGF-beta and BMP levels, respectively (By similarity). Negatively regulates osteoclastogenesis by binding and sequestering an osteoclast differentiation and activation factor TNFSF11 (PubMed:24039232). This leads to disruption of TNFSF11-induced Ca(2+) signaling and impairment of TNFSF11-mediated nuclear translocation and activation of transcription factor NFATC1 which regulates genes important for osteoclast differentiation and function (PubMed:24039232). Mediates cell adhesion via its binding to cell surface receptors integrins ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGA5:ITGB1 (PubMed:12807887, PubMed:17158881). Binds heparin and this interaction has an important role in the assembly of microfibrils (PubMed:11461921).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 8% Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on 1 plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (precision between assays)：CV% < 10% Three samples of known concentration were tested in forty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.115ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.32–20ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human FBN1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human FBN1 and analogues was observed.
