TPA-EIA – Tissue Plasminogen Activator – tPA Paired Antibody Set – 5 plate set

SKU: TPA-EIA Categories: Antibodies, Paired Antibody Sets, tPA - Tissue Plasminogen Activator Products, tPA - tissue plasminogen activator EIA Tags: TPA, Products, Antibodies

Description

tPA Paired Antibody Set

Affinity’s tPA Paired Antibody Set consists of matched capture and detecting antibodies that have been titrated and optimized for use in sandwich style ELISA assays. The product as provided contains sufficient capture and detecting antibodies for five full 96-well microplates and contains a detailed protocol sheet containing directions for use, recipes for solutions and sources for additional materials required. This tPA Paired Antibody Set is intended to facilitate the end user in establishing an “in-house” immunoassay for research purposes only and must not be used for diagnostic applications.  Assay validation is the responsibility of the end user.


Product Code: tPA-EIA
Supplied Materials:

  1. Capture Antibody (TPA-EIA-C): One yellow-capped vial containing 0.5 ml of polyclonal affinity purified anti-tPA antibody for coating plates.
  2. Detecting Antibody (TAT-EIA-D):  One red-capped tube containing 0.5 ml of peroxidase conjugated affinity-purified polyclonal anti-tPA antibody for detection of captured tPa.

Description of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is one of two major physiologic activators of plasminogen in plasma. It is a serine protease of 68 kDa produced primarily in endothelial cells but is also present in monocytes and megakaryocytes. Normal plasma tPA antigen concentrations have been reported from 20 ng/ml to 5 ug/ml, depending on the assay used, but typically most of the tPA (> 90%) is in complex with it’s primary inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Structurally, tPA is a single-chain enzyme that consists of a catalytic domain followed by two kringle structures, an EGF domain and a finger domain. The activation of plasminogen by tPA is dependent on the presence of a fibrin cofactor. The binding of both tPA and plasminogen to fibrin is mediated in part through lysine binding sites within the kringle structures of both enzyme and substrate, but also through the finger domain of tPA. Activation of plasminogen by tPA occurs by cleavage after residue Arg560 to produce the two-chain active serine protease plasmin. The activity of tPA is regulated in part by a very short half life in circulation (t½ of ~4 minutes) and by circulating protease inhibitors PAI-1 and to a lesser extent alpha-2-macroglobulin1-3.
