Erythropoietin (EPO) is a heavily glycosylated protein with a molecular weight of about 30,000 - 34,000 Daltons. Human EPO is a polypeptide consisting of 165 amino acids, containing one O-linked and three N-linked carbohydrate chains1. The recombinant EPO is a good substitute for the native protein for use in an immunoassay2. Serum EPO levels are dependent on the rate of production and the rate of clearance of the protein. Ninety percent of EPO is produced in the peritubular cells of the adult kidney in response to a decrease in tissue oxygenation3,4. There is evidence indicating that the prot

This FDA-Cleared Erythropoietin (EPO) ELISA kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an adjunct in determining the cause of anemia and erythrocytosis (increase of red blood cell mass). EPO is also used to monitor AIDS patients undergoing AZT therapy and to monitor the drug Rx Epogen. Advanced features include direct label-2 site for reliability and convenience, in which capture antibody with distinctly different epitope is conjugated with biotin. This convenient, same-day assay offers excellent patient sample correlation.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidney that promotes the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Erythropoietin is the prime regulator of red blood cell production. Its major functions are to promote the differentiation and development of red blood cells and to initiate the production of hemoglobin, the molecule within red cells that transports oxygen. The measurement of EPO in the blood is useful in the study of bone marrow disorders and kidney disease. Elevated levels of EPO can be seen in polycythemia, a disorder in which there is an excess of red blood cells. Low

EPO (Erythropoietin) EIA - Specific quantitative assay for the determination of erythropoietin in serum. Human EPO is a heavily glycosylated protein consisting of 165 amino acids. Serum EPO levels are dependent on the rate of production and the rate of clearance of the protein. Quantitation of serum erythropoietin is useful in researching the cause of anemia or erythrocytosis.

The EPO ELISA is intended for the quantitative determination of Erythropoietin (EPO) in human serum. This assay is intended for research use, as an aid in the diagnosis of anemias and polycythemias. With the advent of the administration of recombinant erythropoietin as a biologic therapy to increase red blood cell mass, an erythropoietin assay may be used also to aid in the prediction and monitoring of response to recombinant erythropoietin treatment in persons with anemias.
