| FPB

Fibrinopeptide B is peptides which is located in the central region of the fibrous glycoprotein fibrinogen (factor I) and are cleaved by the enzyme thrombin (factor IIa) to convert fibrinogen into covalently-linked fibrin (factor IA) monomers.The N-terminal FpA is cleaved from the Aα chains of fibrinogen and FpB from the Bβ chains of fibrinogen, with FpA released before FpB.Subsequent to their formation, fibrin monomers are converted to cross-linked fibrin polymers by the action of thrombin-activated factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor), and these fibrin polymers form the backbone of a thrombus (blood clot).Hence, the fibrinopeptides are sensitive markers of fibrinogenesis (fibrin generation), thrombin activity, and coagulation.
 

| 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)	5000	2500	1250	625	312.5	156.25	78.12	0
OD	0.19	0.24	0.31	0.55	0.97	1.38	1.96	2.52

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Human FPB 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	101

 

| Linearity

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

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-95	88-96
	Average (%)	91	93
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-104	87-108
	Average (%)	93	98
