Usage Notes
* Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
* 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.
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.

Description: This Human Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate A2M in samples. An antibody specific for A2M has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any A2M present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for A2M is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of A2M bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Background: Alpha2-macroglobulin is a major serum protein with diverse functions, including inhibition of protease activity and binding of growth factors, cytokines, and disease factors. It is also a panproteinase inhibitor that is found immunohistochemically in neuritic plaques. Alpha-2-macroglobulin is able to inactivate an enormous variety of proteinases (including serine-, cysteine-, aspartic- and metalloproteinases). Alpha-2-macroglobulin has in its structure a 35 aminoacid "bait" region. Proteinases binding and cleaving the bait region become bound to alpha2M. The proteinase-alpha2M complex is recognised by macrophage receptors and cleared from the system

Product Notes
The Human A2M a2m (Catalog #AAA331035) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA331035 ELISA Kit recognizes Human A2M. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M), 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
