This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Complement Factor H (CFH). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Complement Factor H (CFH) and analogues was observed.

For unopened kit: All the reagents should be kept according to the labels on vials. The Standard, Detection Reagent A, Detection Reagent B and the 96-well strip plate should be stored at -20 degree C upon receipt while the others should be at 4 degree C. For opened kit: When the kit is opened, the remaining reagents still need to be stored according to the above storage condition. Besides, please return the unused wells to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal along entire edge of zip-seal. The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

Samples: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Assay Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 23.44-1500ng/mL. Sensitivity: Typically less than 8.75ng/mL.

Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Complement Factor H (CFH) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Complement Factor H (CFH) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 . Intra-Assay: CV<10% . Inter-Assay: CV<12% . Assay Procedure Summary: 1. Prepare all reagents, samples and standards;. 2. Add 100uL standard or sample to each well. Incubate 2 hours at 37 degree C;. 3. Aspirate and add 100uL prepared Detection Reagent A. Incubate 1 hour at 37 degree C;. 4. Aspirate and wash 3 times;. 5. Add 100uL prepared Detection Reagent B. Incubate 30 minutes at 37 degree C;. 6. Aspirate and wash 5 times;. 7. Add 90uL Substrate Solution. Incubate 15-25 minutes at 37 degree C;. 8. Add 50uL Stop Solution. Read at 450nm immediately.

Principle of the Assay: The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Complement Factor H (CFH). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Complement Factor H (CFH). Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Complement Factor H (CFH), biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm 10nm. The concentration of Complement Factor H (CFH) in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

This gene is a member of the Regulator of Complement Activation (RCA) gene cluster and encodes a protein with twenty short consensus repeat (SCR) domains. This protein is secreted into the bloodstream and has an essential role in the regulation of complement activation, restricting this innate defense mechanism to microbial infections. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and chronic hypocomplementemic nephropathy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

CFH: Factor H functions as a cofactor in the inactivation of C3b by factor I and also increases the rate of dissociation of the C3bBb complex (C3 convertase) and the (C3b)NBB complex (C5 convertase) in the alternative complement pathway. Genetic variations in CFH are associated with basal laminar drusen (BLD); also known as drusen of Bruch membrane or cuticular drusen or grouped early adult-onset drusen. Drusen are extracellular deposits that accumulate below the retinal pigment epithelium on Bruch membrane. Basal laminar drusen refers to an early adult-onset drusen phenotype that shows a pattern of uniform small, slightly raised yellow subretinal nodules randomly scattered in the macula. In later stages, these drusen often become more numerous, with clustered groups of drusen scattered throughout the retina. In time these small basal laminar drusen may expand and ultimately lead to a serous pigment epithelial detachment of the macula that may result in vision loss. Defects in CFH are the cause of complement factor H deficiency (CFHD). A disorder that can manifest as several different phenotypes, including asymptomatic, recurrent bacterial infections, and renal failure. Laboratory features usually include decreased serum levels of factor H, complement component C3, and a decrease in other terminal complement components, indicating activation of the alternative complement pathway. It is associated with a number of renal diseases with variable clinical presentation and progression, including membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Defects in CFH are a cause of susceptibility to hemolytic uremic syndrome atypical type 1 (AHUS1). An atypical form of hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is a complex genetic disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal failure and absence of episodes of enterocolitis and diarrhea. In contrast to typical hemolytic uremic syndrome, atypical forms have a poorer prognosis, with higher death rates and frequent progression to end-stage renal disease. Susceptibility to the development of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome can be conferred by mutations in various components of or regulatory factors in the complement cascade system. Other genes may play a role in modifying the phenotype. Genetic variation in CFH is associated with age-related macular degeneration type 4 (ARMD4). ARMD is a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid (known as drusen) that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin- containing structure known as Bruch membrane. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
