Beta-2 Glycoprotein I Screen ELISA Kit (Beta-2 GP1)
INTENDED USE
Human beta-2 glycoprotein 1 screen ELISA kit is designed to screen in vitro quantitative levels of IgM, IgA and IgG auto-antibodies to beta2-glycoprotein I screen (apolipoprotein H, beta-2 GP1, ApoH) in human serum and plasma samples. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of 0.5 U/ml.
BACKGROUND
Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 also called beta-2 GP1, apolipoprotein H and ApoH is synthesised by; endothelial cells, trophoblast cells and hepatocytes. It is a 326 amino acid polypeptide which consists of 5 homologous domains that are each approx. 60 amino acids. In clinical research these antibodies can be identified using many different types of assays for example functional coagulation assays and immunoassays. These autoantibodies are present in patients which have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). These antibodies are frequently discovered at elevated in patients that display systemic rheumatic diseases, in particular systemic lupus erythematosus. Whereas, plasma from normal individuals display relatively low levels of IgG autoantibodies.
