Recombinant human fhr 5 protein

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

Recombinant human FHR-5 protein is a laboratory product produced through recombinant DNA technology. FHR-5 (Factor H-related protein 5) is a regulator of the complement system, which is part of the immune response. The recombinant protein can be used for research purposes to study the structure, function, and interactions of FHR-5.

FHR-5 serum levels were measured with newly developed in-house ELISA method. Microtiter ELISA plates were coated with 1 μg/ml commercially available monoclonal mouse anti-human FHR-5 (IgG1, clone #390513, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, US) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) overnight, followed by blocking with PBS and 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) the next day. Serum was diluted 1:100 in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20 and added to the plate [1 h, room temperature (RT)]. FHR-5 binding was detected using polyclonal goat anti-human FHR-5 IgG (Cat. number: AF3845, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, US). Concentrations of the samples were determined based on the standard curve of 2-fold dilution series of recombinant human FHR-5 protein (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, US). Inter-assay and intra-assay variations were determined as 11.8% and 7.8%, respectively. Specificity of the FHR-5 ELISA was confirmed by Western blot (WB) showing that the monoclonal anti-FHR-5 used as capture antibody did not detect FH or any FHR other than FHR-5 (Figure 1).

Plasma FHR-5 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as previous described.20 (link),21 (link) Briefly, rabbit antihuman FHR-5 antibody (Abnova Corp., Taipei, Taiwan) was coated onto half the wells of a microtiter plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) as the capture antibody. After blocking with 1% BSA, the standard control (recombinant human FHR-5 protein; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), plasma samples and quality controls were added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Binding of FHR-5 was detected using mouse anti–FHR-5 antibodies (Abnova Corp., Taipei, Taiwan). After the addition of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit antimouse immunoglobulin G (Dako), the reaction was developed using the peroxidase chromogenic substrate 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzididine liquid substrate system (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) and stopped with 1 mol/l H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) before the absorbance was measured at 450 and 570 nm.

Quantifying Circulating FHR-5 Levels

Circulating FHR-5 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as previously described. 17 Briefly, rabbit anti-human FHR-5 antibody (Abnova Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan) was coated onto half the wells of a microtitre plate (Nunc Immunoplate, Roskilde, Denmark). After blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO), the plasma samples were added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Binding of FHR-5 was examined using mouse anti-human FHR-5 antibodies (Abnova Corporation). Following the addition of horseradish peroxidaseconjugated rabbit anti-mouse IgG (DakoCytomation, Glostrup, Denmark), the reaction was developed using the peroxidase chromogenic substrate 3,3 0 ,5,5 0 -Tetramethylbenzidine Liquid Substrate System (Sigma Chemical Company) and stopped with 1 mol/l sulfuric acid before the absorbance was measured at 450 and 570 nm. Serial dilutions of recombinant human FHR-5 protein (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were used to establish the standard curve, which was then used to calculate circulating FHR-5 levels.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
