Human C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to CNP. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to CNP. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain CNP, 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 CNP in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Target Information
CNP-22Hormone which plays a role in endochondral ossification through regulation of cartilaginous growth plate chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). May also be vasoactive and natriuretic (PubMed:1672777). Acts by specifically binding and stimulating NPR2 to produce cGMP (PubMed:1672777, PubMed:21098034). Binds the clearance receptor NPR3 (PubMed:11533490).

Performance Characteristics
REPEATABILITY |
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level CNP were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. |
SENSITIVITY | The minimum detectable dose was 26.4pg/mL. |
ASSAY RANGE | 62.5-4000pg/mL |
SPECIFICITY | This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of CNP. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between CNP and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between CNP and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist. |
