Human Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP1) ELISA Kit

A sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie designed for the accurate detection of human Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP1) levels in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The kit targets PLP1, also referred to by the synonyms Lipophilin and PLP, and is reactive with human samples.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.156-10ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.072ng/mL. Precision is reported as an intra-assay CV of 4.4% and an inter-assay CV of 8.6%. The assay demonstrates specificity for natural and recombinant human Myelin proteolipid protein and is intended for research in the neurosciences. The detection principle is colorimetric.

Myelin proteolipid protein is the major myelin protein of the central nervous system, where it plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of the multilamellar structure of myelin. Abnormalities in PLP1 expression and function are studied in the context of myelin-related disorders. The kit is for research use only.
