Highly sensititive ELISA, meausring 8-iso-Prostaglandin F2α in plasma, serum and tissue.
For the quantitative determination of 8-iso-PGF2α in plasma, serum, and tissue from any species. Cited sample types include cell lysate and urine.
The measurement of F2-isoprostanes has emerged as one of the most reliable approaches to assess oxidative stress status in vivo, providing an important tool to explore the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of human disease. The is a colorimetric competitive immunoassay kit for the quantitative determination of 8-iso-Prostaglandin F2α in biological fluids such as plasma, serum and tissue. To measure isoprostane in urine or culture supernatants, use the 8-iso-PGF2α EIA Kit.8-iso-PGF2α is produced in vivo by both non-cyclooxygenase and cyclooxygenase dependant mechanisms from arachidonic acid. It has been shown to be a potent vasoconstrictor, a potential mediator of hepatorenal syndrome and a mutagen in 3T3 cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. 8-iso-PGF2α has been shown to circulate in plasma and is excreted in urine.
