| CLDN3

Claudin 3, also known as CLDN3, is a protein which is encoded by the CLDN3 gene.It is a member of the claudin protein family.Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space. These junctions are composed of sets of continuous networking strands in the outwardly facing cytoplasmic leaflet, with complementary grooves in the inwardly facing extracytoplasmic leaflet. The protein encoded by this intron-less gene, a member of the claudin family, is an integral membrane protein and a component of tight junction strands.
 

| 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	2.3	1.65	1.06	0.56	0.29	0.17	0.11	0.05
Corrected OD	2.25	1.6	1.01	0.51	0.24	0.12	0.06	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of human CLDN3 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	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-104	101
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of human CLDN3 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	87-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	92	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	88-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
