Product Description
specificalPrinciple of the assay: The Mediagnost ELISA for IGFBP-2 E05 is a so-called Sandwich-Assay using two specific and high affinity antibodies. The IGFBP-2 in the samples binds to the first antibody coated on the microtiter plate. In the following step the second specific anti-IGFBP-2-Antibody binds in turn to the immobilised IGFBP-2. The second antibody is biotinylated and will be applied in a mixture with a Streptavidin-Peroxidase-Enzyme Conjugate. In the closing substrate reaction the turn of the colour will be catalysed quantitatively depending on the IGFBP-2-level of the samples
Background: Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) regulate the proliferation, differentation, apoptose, cell adhesion and metabolism in various tissues and cell types. The IGF-I, which is produced mainly in liver under the influence of growth hormone (GH), regulates as hormone the linear growth of the bones and the process of sexual maturity, while IGF-II is mainly a growth factor of fetal tissue (11-13). The biological actions of IGF over the IGF-Type-I receptor are modulated variably through the IGF binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to-6) (14). IGFBP-2 is, after IGFBP-3, the second most frequent IGFBP in the human blood. IGFs, especially tumor typical pro-IGF-forms and hormones regulate the expression of IGFBP-2, GH effect is thereby inhibiting. At cellular level IGFBP-2 seems to stimulate the proliferation and dissemination of solid tumors via an IGF-independent mechanism (15,16).
