Fast, sensitive assay for the in vitro quantitation of PCNA protein. The kit has broad reactivity, and is suitable to detect PCNA in autoimmune sera samples. The assay was validated using the BrdU Cell Proliferation Assay (Cat. No. QIA58).
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) has no known enzymatic activity; however, it can interact with a variety of proteins and regulate their activities. These varied interactions with DNA metabolic proteins imply that PCNA is a central factor for the coordination of DNA replication, DNA repair, epigenetic inheritance, and cell-cycle control.

 The mean signal of each standard run in replicates of four in eight assays using two different lots of plates and two different lots of detector antibody.  The mean signal of each standard run in replicates of two in four assays using two different batches of plates and two different lots of detector antibody. <b>Note:</b> 44 units/ml of the old standard (lysate) corresponds to about 200 ng/ml of the new standard. |
