Typical Data

Materials provided

A micro ELISA plate --The 96-well plate has been pre-coated with an anti-rat COMP antibody. This dismountable microplate can be divided into 12 x 8 strip plates.
Two vials lyophilized standard --Dilute a bottle of the standard at dilution series, read the OD values, and then draw a standard curve.
One vial Biotin-labeled COMP antibody (100 x concentrate) (120 μl/bottle) --Act as the detection antibody.
One vial HRP-avidin (100 x concentrate) (120 μl/bottle) --Bind to the detection antibody and react with the TMB substrate to make the solution chromogenic.
One vial Biotin-antibody Diluent (15 ml/bottle) --Dilute the high concentration Biotin-antibody to an appropriate working solution.
One vial HRP-avidin Diluent (15 ml/bottle) --Dilute the high concentration HRP-avidin solution to an appropriate solution.
One vial Sample Diluent (50 ml/bottle)--Dilute the sample to an appropriate concentration.
One vial Wash Buffer (25 x concentrate) (20 ml/bottle) --- Wash away unbound or free substances.
One vial TMB Substrate (10 ml/bottle) --Act as the chromogenic agent. TMB interacts with HRP, eliciting the solution turns blue.
One vial Stop Solution (10 ml/bottle) --Stop the color reaction. The solution color immediately turns from blue to yellow.
Four Adhesive Strips (For 96 wells) --Cover the microplate when incubation.

Description

The product CSB-E13833r is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA Kit for quantitative analysis of rat cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in biological samples, including serum, plasma, or tissue homogenates. This kit has undergone rigorous quality tests in multiple parameters, including specificity, sensitivity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency.

The detection mechanism of this kit is based on the Sandwich-ELISA technique. COMP in the samples or standards are sandwiched between pre-coated COMP antibody and Biotin-conjugated COMP antibody. The COMP/pre-coated COMP antibody/Biotin-conjugated COMP antibody complex is labeled by HRP and then occurs a chromogenic reaction after the addition of the TMB solution. The color intensity is positively related to the COMP in the samples.

COMP, also known as thrombospondin-5 (TSP-5), is a matricellular protein essential for maintaining vascular homeostasis. It also plays a crucial role in cartilage and bone metabolism and is involved in arthritis. COMP preserves the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells and prevents the formation of vascular neointima and vascular calcification after an injury. Model mice lacking COMP developed spontaneous dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Evidence revealed that COMP is an endogenous thrombin inhibitor and negatively modulates hemostasis and thrombosis.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)

May play a role in the structural integrity of cartilage via its interaction with other extracellular matrix proteins such as the collagens and fibronectin. Can mediate the interaction of chondrocytes with the cartilage extracellular matrix through interaction with cell surface integrin receptors. Could play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Potent suppressor of apoptosis in both primary chondrocytes and transformed cells. Suppresses apoptosis by blocking the activation of caspase-3 and by inducing the IAP family of survival proteins (BIRC3, BIRC2, BIRC5 and XIAP). Essential for maintaining a vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contractile/differentiated phenotype under physiological and pathological stimuli. Maintains this phenotype of VSMCs by interacting with ITGA7.
