Product Summary
The Parameter PGE 2 Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour forward sequential competitive enzyme immunoassay designed to measure PGE2 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine.
Precision
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.

Recovery
The recovery of PGE2 spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=4) | 97 | 84-106 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=4) | 93 | 82-108 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=4) | 94 | 81-111 |
| Serum (n=4) | 97 | 86-114 |
| Urine (n=4) | 99 | 81-111 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples spiked with high concentrations of PGE 2 were serially diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
Preparation and Storage
Storage
Store the unopened product at -20 to -70 °C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Do not use past expiration date.
Background: Prostaglandin E2/PGE2
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is formed in a variety of cells from prostaglandin H2, which is synthesized from arachidonic acid by the enzyme prostaglandin synthetase. PGE2 has a number of biological actions, including vasodilation, both anti- and proinflammatory action, modulation of sleep/wake cycles, and facilitation of human immunodeficiency virus replication. It elevates cAMP levels, stimulates bone resorption and has thermoregulatory effects. It has been shown to be a regulator of sodium excretion and renal hemodynamics.
