Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%

Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess.

Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%

Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of rat COMP in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
Description

The product CSB-E13833r is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA Kit for quantitative analysis of rat cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in biological samples, including serum, plasma, or tissue homogenates. This kit has undergone rigorous quality tests in multiple parameters, including specificity, sensitivity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency.

The detection mechanism of this kit is based on the Sandwich-ELISA technique. COMP in the samples or standards are sandwiched between pre-coated COMP antibody and Biotin-conjugated COMP antibody. The COMP/pre-coated COMP antibody/Biotin-conjugated COMP antibody complex is labeled by HRP and then occurs a chromogenic reaction after the addition of the TMB solution. The color intensity is positively related to the COMP in the samples.

COMP, also known as thrombospondin-5 (TSP-5), is a matricellular protein essential for maintaining vascular homeostasis. It also plays a crucial role in cartilage and bone metabolism and is involved in arthritis. COMP preserves the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells and prevents the formation of vascular neointima and vascular calcification after an injury. Model mice lacking COMP developed spontaneous dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Evidence revealed that COMP is an endogenous thrombin inhibitor and negatively modulates hemostasis and thrombosis.

Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
May play a role in the structural integrity of cartilage via its interaction with other extracellular matrix proteins such as the collagens and fibronectin. Can mediate the interaction of chondrocytes with the cartilage extracellular matrix through interaction with cell surface integrin receptors. Could play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Potent suppressor of apoptosis in both primary chondrocytes and transformed cells. Suppresses apoptosis by blocking the activation of caspase-3 and by inducing the IAP family of survival proteins (BIRC3, BIRC2, BIRC5 and XIAP). Essential for maintaining a vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contractile/differentiated phenotype under physiological and pathological stimuli. Maintains this phenotype of VSMCs by interacting with ITGA7.

  5. The presence of cleaved apoptosis inducing factor (tAIF) and the absence of activated caspases indicated that retention of D469del-COMP triggers cell death in chondrocytes by necroptosis, a caspase-independent programmed necrosis. PMID:22154936
  6. Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein is a novel inhibitor of vascular smooth muscle calcification. PMID:21350216
