Product Summary
The Quantikine Endothelin-1 immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure ET-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains synthetic ET-1 and antibodies raised against synthetic ET-1. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate synthetic and naturally occurring ET-1.
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.

Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples spiked with high concentrations of Endothelin-1 were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
Preparation and Storage
Background: Endothelin-1
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is produced by many tissues including lung, kidney, brain, endocrine glands, and placenta. It is also expressed by several cell types including, mast cells, endothelial cells, epithelial and smooth muscle cells. The most prominent source is vascular endothelium. ET-1 is best known as a potent vasoconstrictor. Elevated blood ET-1 levels are associated with a variety of diseases, possibly as a function of a stress response.
