Defensins are cationic, anti-microbial peptides, produced by many cell types (e.g., leukocytes, epithelium, dendrites), and which play prominent roles in the innate immune response of mammals. Two classes have been described in humans, the alpha- and beta-defensins, which range from 3.5-4.5kD and are stabilized by three intramolecular disulfide bonds differing by the ordering of the disulfide bonds in the mature peptides. To date, six alpha-defensins (also referred to as Human Neutrophil Peptides, HNP1-6) and six beta-defensins (HBD1-6) have been investigated. All have demonstrated broad-spectrum in vitro antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and enveloped viruses - activities that are expected to be significant for in vivo protection against pathogens. Researchers have also investigated the ability of defensins to induce the release from tissues of cytokines and chemokines involved in inflammatory and/or adaptive immunity, thereby providing a regulatory role that bridges innate and adaptive immunity. Investigative research has led to the measurement of defensins in serum, saliva, milk, amniotic fluid and lung and cervicovaginal lavage, and culture media of cells and tissue of blood, lung, skin, bowel, muscle, cartilage and kidney, among other sample types.

Sample Type
Serum, saliva, or other tissue fluids.
Intended Use
The Human Beta Defensin 2 (BD-2) ELISA Kit is an in vitro immunoassay for research use in the quantification of BD-2 in cultures of human cells and in appropriately qualified samples from serum, saliva, or other tissue fluids.
Range
3.125-200pg/ml
Expected Levels
Human serum: 0-770pg/ml
Recovery
Human saliva: 111-133% for 50-400pg/ml range Culture medium: 103-133% for 50-400pg/ml range
Test Principle
The Human Beta Defensin 2 ELISA kit is based on the binding of Human Beta Defensin 2 in samples to two antibodies, one immobilized on the microtiter wells, and the other conjugated to biotin, which then binds to a streptavidin horserumdish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate. After a washing step, chromogenic substrate is added and color is developed by the enzymatic reaction of HRP on the TMB substrate, which is directly proportional to the amount of BD-2 present in the sample. Stopping Solution is added to terminate the reaction, and absorbance at 450nm is then measured using an ELISA microtiter well reader. The concentration of BD-2 in samples is calculated from a standard curve of purified recombinant human BD-2 of designated concentration.
