Human Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) 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 PDI. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human PDI. 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 PDI, 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 PDI 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

This multifunctional protein catalyzes the formation, breakage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. At the cell surface, seems to act as a reductase that cleaves disulfide bonds of proteins attached to the cell. May therefore cause structural modifications of exofacial proteins. Inside the cell, seems to form/rearrange disulfide bonds of nascent proteins. At high concentrations and following phosphorylation by FAM20C, functions as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins (PubMed:32149426). At low concentrations, facilitates aggregation (anti-chaperone activity). May be involved with other chaperones in the structural modification of the TG precursor in hormone biogenesis. Also acts as a structural subunit of various enzymes such as prolyl 4-hydroxylase and microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein MTTP. Receptor for LGALS9; the interaction retains P4HB at the cell surface of Th2 T helper cells, increasing disulfide reductase activity at the plasma membrane, altering the plasma membrane redox state and enhancing cell migration (PubMed:21670307).

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 0.11ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.32–20ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human PDI. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PDI and analogues was observed.
