| PGRN

Progranulin is a highly conserved secreted protein that is expressed in multiple cell types, both in the CNS and in peripheral tissues. Both directly and via its conversion to granulins, progranulin regulates cell growth, survival, repair, and inflammation. Progranulin has a major role in regulation of lysosomal function and microglial responses in the CNS. Autosomal dominant mutations of the progranulin (GRN) gene leading to protein haploinsufficiency are linked to familial frontotemporal dementia with neuropathologic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) associated with accumulation of TAR-DNA binding protein of 43kDA (TDP-43) inclusions (FTLD-TDP). Homozygous GRN mutations are linked to neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL).
 

| 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)	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.62	0.31	0.15	0
OD	2.33	1.76	1.16	0.7	0.46	0.33	0.24	0.1
Corrected OD	2.23	1.66	1.06	0.6	0.36	0.23	0.14	-

 

| Repeatability

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

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat PGRN 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)	85-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat PGRN 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	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
