other info1 :
Samples: Serum, Plasma, Culture Supernatants, Body Fluid And Tissue Homogenate. Detection Range: 31.2 pg/ml ~ 1000 pg/ml. Sensitivity: Typically less than 5.0 pg/ml.
other info2 :
Intended Uses: This ELISA kit is intended for laboratory in vitro research use only, not for drug, household or other use! The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm by a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of Mouse DEFalpha5 in the sample, this ELISA kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus Mouse DEFalpha5 concentration. The concentration of Mouse DEFalpha5 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

ncbi summary :
Defensins are a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. Several of the alpha defensin genes appear to be clustered on chromosome 8. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 5, is highly expressed in the secretory granules of Paneth cells of the ileum. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
DEFA5: Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Defensins are thought to kill microbes by permeabilizing their plasma membrane. All DEFA5 peptides exert antimicrobial activities, but their potency is affected by peptide processing. Belongs to the alpha-defensin family. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p23.1. Cellular Component: extracellular space; transport vesicle; Golgi lumen; extracellular region. Biological Process: killing of cells of another organism; antibacterial humoral response; innate immune response; defense response to fungus
