General description

The Human OPN ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human OPN in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.

Immunogen

Recombinant Human OPN

Application

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)
Human Osteopontin ELISA Kit has been used in the quantification of serum osteopontin (OPN) in human blood samples.[1][2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted glycoprotein and is assumed to be associated with various cellular processes such as adhesion, migration, and biomineralization in diverse tissues. Osteopontin acts as a ligand to αvβ3 integrin and possibly other receptors.[3] In addition to its involvement in mineralized matrix formation, osteopontin can also function as a cytokine that stimulates the release of IFNγ (interferon γ) and IL-12 (interleukin 12), while inhibiting the production of IL-10. Osteopontin is involved in inflammation and also regulates immunity against infectious diseases. It also co-stimulates T cell proliferation.[4] Osteopontin has proinflammatory functions and is associated with multiple sclerosis.[5] It participates in inflammation in Crohn′s Disease.[6] Osteopontin plays a crucial role in bone remodelling and retards ectopic calcification by inhibiting the formation of hydroxyapatite. OPN is thought to prevent renal stone formation by suppressing nucleation, growth and aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals.[7]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How do I reconstitute the lyophilized human osteopontin protein?

    1 answer
    1. The preparation instructions and protocol for this kit are published in the Certificate of Analysis. Please see the link below to access a sample of lot specific Certificate:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/product/sigma/rab0436#product-documentation

      Helpful?

  2. As I was looking through the general sandwich assay protocol, I was curious about what the wash buffer is diluted in. Is there no serial dilution step for that standard as the kit contains a 1x and 5x osteopontin standard? What's the kit's protocol?

    1 answer
    1. The protocol can be found in the Certificate of Analysis in the document section of the product detail page. For the RAB series ELISA, the COA can apply to any lot as the standard concentration, reagent preparation and assay procedures are the same for each lot.
