Product details:
Mouse Neutrophil Elastase ELISA Kit ab252356 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse Neutrophil Elastase in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum, tissue. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 27.39 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse Neutrophil Elastase SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Neutrophil Elastase also known as neutrophil proteinase 3 has a molecular mass of approximately 30 kDa. It is a serine protease expressed mainly in azurophilic granules of neutrophils. This enzyme breaks down various proteins including elastin at sites of inflammation. Neutrophil Elastase releases during degranulation or through neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to combat pathogens.
Biological function summary
The target plays a significant role in neutrophil-mediated tissue remodeling and host defense. It leads to the breaking down of extracellular matrix components contributing to tissue remodeling and repair. Neutrophil Elastase is part of a complex interplay with other proteases like matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Its activity is regulated by endogenous inhibitors such as alpha-1 antitrypsin to prevent excessive tissue damage.
Pathways
This protease is important in inflammation and immune response pathways. It plays a role in the complement system by activating C5 a component of the complement cascade. It also acts in conjunction with other proteases such as cathepsin G to modulate immune and inflammatory responses. Neutrophil Elastase's role within these pathways is pivotal for the regulation of inflammation and destruction of pathogens.
Individuals with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis often exhibit dysregulation or excessive activity of Neutrophil Elastase. This excessive activity leads to tissue damage and exacerbates disease progression. The enzyme also interacts with proteins like elastin and collagen in these diseases further contributing to pathological tissue remodeling and damage.
