| ET

Endothelins are peptides with receptors and effects in many body organs.Endothelin constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. The endothelins are normally kept in balance by other mechanisms, but when overexpressed, they contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease, and potentially other diseases.Endothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium having a key role in vascular homeostasis. Endothelins are implicated in vascular diseases of several organ systems, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	800	400	200	100	50	25	12.5	0
OD	0.216	0.298	0.417	0.669	0.955	1.405	1.79	1.865

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Dog ET spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	81-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	97-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Dog ET and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	93	98	110
