The Quantikine Human Amphiregulin Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human Amphiregulin in cell culture supernates, cell lysates serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. It contains E. coli-derived recombinant human Amphiregulin and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained with natural human Amphiregulin showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human Amphiregulin.

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using two lots of components

The recovery of Amphiregulin spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human Amphiregulin were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
