Interference
No significant interference observed with available related molecules.
Product Summary
The Quantikine Human u-Plasminogen Activator/Urokinase Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure uPA in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human uPA and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human uPA. Results obtained using natural human uPA showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human uPA.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision

Recovery
The recovery of uPA spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=8) | 102 | 93-115 |
| Cell Lysates (n=4) | 97 | 81-116 |

| Serum (n=4) | 87 | 81-93 |
| Urine (n=4) | 98 | 81-119 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing high concentrations of uPA were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. Samples were diluted prior to assay.

Background: u-Plasminogen Activator (uPA)/Urokinase
u-Plasminogen Activator (uPA) is a serine protease that converts plasminogen to plasmin, with roles in a variety of normal and pathological processes that include cell migration and tissue destruction. uPA is a potent marker of invasion and metastasis in a variety of human cancers including breast, stomach, colon, bladder, ovarian, brain, and endometrium.

Assay Procedure
Refer to the product Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, standards, and controls be assayed in duplicate.
- Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert.
- Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.
- Add 100 µL of Assay Diluent to each well.
- Add 50 µL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours on a horizontal orbital microplate shaker.
- Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 3 times for a total of 4 washes.
- Add 200 µL of Conjugate to each well. Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours on the shaker.
- Aspirate and wash 4 times.
- Add 200 µL Substrate Solution to each well. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes on the benchtop. PROTECT FROM LIGHT.
- Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.
