Human Pulmonary Surfactant Associated Protein C ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: SPC ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-SPC antibody and an SPC-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with SPC-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the SPC concentration since SPC from samples and SPC-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-SPC antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by SPC from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind SPC-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The SPC concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

Uniprot Description
SFTPC: Pulmonary surfactant associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air- liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. Defects in SFTPC are the cause of pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2 (SMDP2); also called pulmonary alveolar proteinosis due to surfactant protein C deficiency. A rare disease associated with progressive respiratory insufficiency and lung disease with a variable clinical course, due to impaired surfactant homeostasis. It is characterized by alveolar filling with floccular material that stains positive using the periodic acid-Schiff method and is derived from surfactant phospholipids and protein components. Excessive lipoproteins accumulation in the alveoli results in severe respiratory distress. Genetic variations in SFTPC are a cause of susceptibility to respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants (RDS); also known as RDS in prematurity. RDS is a lung disease affecting usually premature newborn infants. It is characterized by deficient gas exchange, diffuse atelectasis, high-permeability lung edema and fibrin-rich alveolar deposits called 'hyaline membranes'. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human SPC sftpc (Catalog #AAA733281) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA733281 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SPC. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pulmonary Surfactant Associated Protein C, 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
