Rabbit BPI (Bactericidal/Permeability Increasing Protein) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to BPI. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for BPI and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain BPI, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of BPI. You can calculate the concentration of BPI in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a lipopolysaccharide binding protein. It is associated with human neutrophil granules and has antimicrobial activity against gram-negative organisms. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
Uniprot Description
BPI: 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-nagative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Cell surface; Secreted
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q11.23
Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; cytoplasm
Molecular Function: lipopolysaccharide binding
Biological Process: negative regulation of interleukin-6 production; negative regulation of interleukin-8 production; immune response; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; negative regulation of macrophage activation

Product Notes
The Rabbit BPI bpi (Catalog #AAA2503825) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2503825 ELISA Kit recognizes Rabbit BPI. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BPI, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
