| HSPG

Perlecan (PLC) also known as basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein (HSPG) or heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), is a protein that is encoded by the HSPG2 gene. The HSPG2 gene codes for a 4,391 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 468,829. It is one of the largest known proteins. The name perlecan comes from its appearance as a "string of pearls" in rotary shadowed images.
 

| 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)	1000	500	250	125	62.5	31.2	15.6	0
OD	2.65	1.5	0.96	0.58	0.39	0.26	0.18	0.07
Corrected OD	2.58	1.43	0.89	0.51	0.32	0.19	0.11	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Human HSPG 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)	84-101	95
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

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

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Tissue Homogenates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	95
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
