| MUC5AC

Mucin-5AC (MUC-5AC) is a protein that is encoded by the MUC5AC gene.It is a large gel-forming glycoprotein. In the respiratory tract, it protects against infection by binding to inhaled pathogens, which are subsequently removed by mucociliary clearance. Overproduction of MUC-5AC can contribute to diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,and has also been associated with greater protection against influenza infection.
 

| 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	0.62	0.31	0
OD	2.28	1.91	1.43	0.97	0.62	0.38	0.22	0.07
Corrected OD	2.21	1.84	1.36	0.9	0.55	0.31	0.15	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse MUC5AC 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)	86-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	104

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse MUC5AC and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(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
