| NLRP3

NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) (previously known as NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 [NALP3] and cryopyrin), is a protein encoded by the NLRP3 gene located on the long arm of chromosome 1.NLRP3 is expressed predominantly in macrophages and as a component of the inflammasome,  detects products of damaged cells such as extracellular ATP and crystalline uric acid. Activated NLRP3 in turn triggers an immune response. Mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated with a number of organ specific autoimmune diseases.
 

| 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)	500	250	125	62.5	31.25	15.62	7.81	0
OD	2.22	1.56	0.92	0.63	0.42	0.25	0.18	0.08
Corrected OD	2.14	1.48	0.84	0.55	0.34	0.17	0.1	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse NLRP3 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)	84-103	98
Cell Lysates(n=8)	92-105	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse NLRP3 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-94	90-110
	Average (%)	91	91	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
