Human Lipolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP) ELISA Kit | LBP elisa kit
Human Lipolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: LPS-binding protein (LBP) is serum factor known to regulate the endotoxin-induced cellular immune response. Sepsis is a morbid condition induced by a toxin, the introduction or accumulation of which is most commonly caused by infection or trauma. Sepsis-inducing toxins have been found associated with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, plants and venoms. Among the well described bacterial toxins are the endotoxins or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of the gram-negative bacteria. Upon introduction of LPS into the blood it binds to lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP). LBP recognizes the lipid A region of LPS and forms high affinity complexes with both rough and smooth form LPS. During the acute phase, LBP is synthesized by hepatocytes, and reaches very high concentrations in serum.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the acute-phase immunologic response to gram-negative bacterial infections. Gram-negative bacteria contain a glycolipid, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), on their outer cell wall. Together with bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI), the encoded protein binds LPS and interacts with the CD14 receptor, probably playing a role in regulating LPS-dependent monocyte responses. Studies in mice suggest that the encoded protein is necessary for the rapid acute-phase response to LPS but not for the clearance of LPS from circulation. This protein is part of a family of structurally and functionally related proteins, including BPI, plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP).

Uniprot Description
LBP: Binds to the lipid A moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a glycolipid present in the outer membrane of all Gram-negative bacteria. The LBP/LPS complex seems to interact with the CD14 receptor. Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.

Product Notes
The Human LBP lbp (Catalog #AAA9715514) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715514 ELISA Kit recognizes Human LBP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lipolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP), 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
