Application: Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that regulates the production of red blood cells and biosynthesis of hemoglobin. The predominant expression of this gene shifts from the liver during fetal development to kidney in adults, and and the secreted protein will travel through the blood stream to reach to the bone marrow to stimulate hematopoietic stem cell differentiation to RBC. EPO binds to the cognate EPO receptor (EPOR) on erythroid progenitor cells, thus preventing apoptosis and stimulating their differentiation and maturation into erythrocyte. However, EPO protein and its receptors have also been shown to be cytoprotective in extra-hematopoietic tissues including the retina tissue. Low levels of EPO (around 10 mIU/mL) are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover. Common causes of cellular hypoxia resulting in elevated levels of EPO (up to 10000 mIU/mL) include any anemia, and hypoxemia due to chronic lung disease.

This test kit is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The Fetuin A ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous Fetuin A. The assay recognizes human Fetuin A. An antibody specific for Fetuin A has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The Fetuin A protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another antibody specific for Fetuin A is added to detect the captured Fetuin A protein. For signal development, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody is added, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.
