MPO ELISA Kit (Myeloperoxidase)

INTENDED USE

Human MPO ELISA kit is designed for determining in vitro quantitative amounts of myeloperoxidase (MPO) present in human plasma, serum, tissue homogenate and other biological fluids. This assay has a minimum detection limit of 0.938 ng/ml.

BACKGROUND

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a cationic homodimer which is made up of two 15-kDa light chains and two variable-weight glycosylated heavy chains that are bound to a prosthetic heme group. It is essentially a lysosomal protein which is stored in azurophilic granules of neutrophil and then can be released into the extracellular space during the process of degranulation. It is abundantly expressed in neutrophils granulocytes and is secreted when they are activated, it is a mammalian phagocyte hemoprotein which can function in mediating host defence reactions.

Intra-nuclear MPO can also help to protect DNA against damage as a result from oxygen radicals that are produced during myeloid cell function and maturation. Myeloperoxidase is a member of the XPO subfamily of peroxidases where it has the ability to produce hypochlorous acid from hydrogen peroxide and chloride anion during the neutrophil’s respiratory burst. Both hypochlorous acid and tyrosyl radical are cytotoxic and they are used by the neutrophil to aid in killing bacteria and many other pathogens.
