General description

Erythropoietin (Epo) is a cytokine belonging to the hematopoietic cytokine superfamily. It has structural similarity to growth hormone and is encoded as a 193 amino acid polypeptide comprising of canonical leader sequence composed of 27 amino acid, and a carboxyl terminal arginine which is removed by posttranslational cleavage. Furthermore, Epo is produced in adult kidney and fetal liver and is involved in stimulating red blood cell production.

Immunogen

Recognized epitope not known.

Application

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
The EPO ELISA is designed for use in life science research studies as a method for the determination of EPO concentrations in plasma and serum; it is not intended for diagnostic procedures. The literature indicates that in certain forms of anemia, specifically in aplastic renal anemia, the regulation of EPO formation in the kidney appears to be intact. This may lead to an extremely high EPO concentration in serum of the respective individuals.
Exaggerated EPO levels, accompanied by a normal or even elevated hemoglobin concentration (and/or hematocrit values), have been found in a series of diseases (e.g., tumors of the kidney or liver, or in secondary forms of polycythemia). Polycythemia vera, however, is characterized by an abnormally increased red blood cell count  in tandem with a low EPO serum level. The EPO ELISA is intended to help increase scientific knowledge about these relationships.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The ELISA system detects both natural and recombinant human EPO from CHO cells. No cross-reaction with other serum components has been found.

Packaging

1 kit containing 10 components.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Unit Conversion: The EPO concentration of unknown samples is calculated from a calibration curve. Each lot of standards (used for the calibration curve) is calibrated according to the 2. IRP WHO preparation (see lot-specific label). Conversion factor: 1 mlU/ml corresponds to 6.6 pg/ml. Conversion factor: 1 mU = 6.6 pg.

The normal range of a healthy human lies between 4 to 90 mIU/ml.
