Inhibitory antibody reacts with a cell-surface molecule selectively expressed on mouse inteferon producing cells
The assay, developed by HyCult Biotechnology (HBT), is based on an Elisa immunoassay consisting of highly specific MPO antibodies.
This method is not influenced by tissue enzyme inhibitors and allows accurate and easy detection of MPO present in infiltrating neutrophils.
The Mouse MPO Assay uses a method devoid of the cumbersome blockade of inhibitory factors which is necessary in the classical enzymatic assay.
Organs, particularly the kidney and liver, contain large amounts of inhibitors that disturb the enzymatic MPO assay in such tissues.
Furthermore, the assay can be used for quantitation of MPO in plasma such as after LPS administration and during inflammation and in vitro release of MPO by neutrophils.
