| TOP2A

DNA topoisomerase IIα is a enzyme encoded by the TOP2A gene. Topoisomerase IIα relieves topological DNA stress during transcription, condenses chromosomes, and separates chromatids. It catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of two strands of duplex DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another. Two forms of this enzyme exist as likely products of a gene duplication event. The gene encoding this form, alpha, is localized to chromosome 17 and the beta gene is localized to chromosome 3. The gene encoding this enzyme functions as the target for several chemotherapy agents and a variety of mutations in this gene have been associated with the development of drug resistance.
 

| 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 (ng/mL)	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0
OD	2.23	1.31	0.9	0.62	0.43	0.32	0.26	0.1
Corrected OD	2.13	1.21	0.8	0.52	0.33	0.22	0.16	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Human TOP2A spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	84-101	95
Cell Lysates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human TOP2A and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Tissue Homogenates(n=4)	Cell Lysates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	90-110
	Average (%)	91	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-102	105-114
	Average (%)	94	107
