Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8% | ||||||
Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. | ||||||
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10% | ||||||
Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess. | ||||||
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of rat α-SMA in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. | ||||||

The rat α-SMA ELISA Kit is engineered for accurate measurement of rat α-SMA levels from samples including serum, plasma, or tissue homogenates. It uses the Sandwich-ELISA mechanism in combination with the enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction to measure the α-SMA content in the sample. The color intensity is positively correlated with α-SMA content in the sample. This kit has been validated against standards of sensitivity, specificity, precision, linearity, recovery, and lot-to-lot consistency.
α-SMA, also called ACTA2, is the actin isoform that predominates within vascular smooth muscle cells. The expression of α-SMA defines the phenotypic transition to myofibroblasts and is a major contributor to increased contractile force generation by these cells. α-SMA contributes to cell-generated mechanical tension and is normally restricted to cells of vascular smooth muscle. It is used as a marker for a subset of activated fibrogenic cells, myofibroblasts, which are important effector cells of tissue fibrogenesis. α-SMA is important dor fibrogenesis. Additionally, α-SMA can enhance the contractile activity of myofibroblasts.
