C1375
Cardiolipin
Description:
Cardiolipin is an important component of the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it constitutes about 20% of the total lipid composition. The name ‘cardiolipin’ is derived from the fact that it was first found in beef heart in the early 1940s. In mammalian cells, cardiolipin (CL) is found almost exclusively in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is essential for the optimal function of numerous enzymes that are involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1:100
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

In an ELISA system designed to detect all IgG subclasses, the following purified antigens (dilution of 1:100) responded as:
Antigen Result (EU/ml)
SSA 33
SSB 9
SCL 18
Sm 7
Sm/RNP 11
Jo-1 31

Interpretation of Results:
<16 EU/ml: Negative
16-20 EU/ml: Equivocal
>20 EU/ml: Positive
