Description
Application

This ELISA is used for the quatification of protein Factor H-related 2 in serum and plasma samples.

Complement Factor H-related protein 2 (FHR-2) plays an important role in complement regulation. Predominantly synthesized in the liver, but monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells also contribute. With a molecular weight of approximately 29 kDa, FHR-2 closely resembles Complement Factor H (CFH), a key regulator of the complement system. Although FHR-2 shares structural similarities with Complement Factor H (CFH), its precise function is still unclear.

Research indicates that FHR-2 may inhibit the alternative pathway (AP) C3 convertase, potentially reducing membrane attack complex (MAC) formation. Conversely, some studies indicate that FHR-2 might instead promote AP activation. Findings support this, as a hybrid mutant protein with FHR-5 domains and full-length FHR-2 lead to overactivation of the complement system.

FHR-2 is linked to various diseases driven by complement dysregulation, such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Its involvement in the alternative pathway makes it a promising therapeutic target for managing complement-driven diseases.

Human FHR-2 can be measured with our HK3004 assay, designed to precisely quantify this intriguing glycoprotein.

Use

The human FHR-2 ELISA kit is to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of FHR-2 in serum and plasma samples.

Principle

The human FHR-2 ELISA is a ready-to-use solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the sandwich principle with a working time of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The efficient format of a plate with twelve disposable 8-well strips allows free choice of batch size for the assay. Samples and standards are incubated in microtiter wells coated with antibodies recognizing human FHR-2. Peroxidase-conjugated antibody will bind to the captured FHR-2. Peroxidase-conjugate will react with the substrate, tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of oxalic acid. The absorbance at 450 nm is measured with a spectrophotometer. A standard curve is obtained by plotting the absorbance (linear) versus the corresponding concentrations of the human FHR-2 standards (log). The human FHR-2 concentration of samples, which are run concurrently with the standards, can be determined from the standard curve.
