Human bactericidal/permeabilityincreasingprotein, BPI ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, cell culture supernates Detection Range: 1.25 ng/mL-80 ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.31 ng/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: The cytotoxic action of BPI is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria, this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. [The UniProt Consortium]
