Background

Surfactant protein A is a protein with two isoforms, with lengths of 248 and 263 amino acids and weights of approximately 26 and 28 kDa respectively. Surfactant protein A binds to surfactant phospholipids in the presence of calcium ions and helps lower the surface tension in the alveoli of the lungs. Current research is being done on several diseases and disorders linked to this protein including pulmonary fibrosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, non-small cell lung carcinoma, sclerosing hemangioma, otitis media, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis obliterans, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, rhinitis, aspergillosis, pulmonary edema, insulin resistance, and pneumoconiosis. Surfactant protein A has also been shown to have interactions with DMBT1, MYO18A, C1QA, SFTPD, and TLR2 in pathways such as the immune response, bacterial infections in CF airways, cell-cell communication, phagosome, and pertussis pathways.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
