Product overview
Human APOC3 ELISA Kit (ab238268) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of APOC3 protein in cerebral spinal fluid, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, milk, serum, urine, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human APOC3 with 235 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology 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. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Research areas
-
Function
Inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase and decreases the uptake of lymph chylomicrons by hepatic cells. This suggests that it delays the catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles. -
Tissue specificity
Constitutes 50% of the protein fraction of VLDL and 2% of that of HDL. Synthesized predominantly in liver and to a lesser degree in intestine. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in APOC3 may be a cause of hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HYPALIP) [MIM:143470]. Affected individuals show high levels of alpha-lipoprotein (high density lipoprotein/HDL). -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the apolipoprotein C3 family. -
Post-translational
modificationsO-linked glycan consists of Gal-GalNAc disaccharide, further modified with up to 3 sialic acid residues. O-glycosylated on Thr-94 with a core 1 or possibly core 8 glycan. -

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

The APOC3 standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
-
The concentrations of APOC3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the APOC3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: breast milk 3.33%, urine 50%, CSF 4.44%, and HepG2 supernatant 5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean APOC3 concentration was determined to be 188.8 ng/mL in neat breast milk, 2.895 ng/mL in neat urine, 105.5 ng/mL in neat cerebrospinal fluid, and 77.04 ng/mL in neat HepG2 cell culture supernatant.

The concentrations of APOC3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the APOC3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1:20,000, plasma (citrate) 1:20,000, plasma (heparin) 1:20,000, and plasma (EDTA) 1:20,000. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean APOC3 concentration was determined to be 116.4 µg/mL in neat serum, 124.3 µg/mL in neat plasma (citrate), 118.8 µg/mL in neat plasma (heparin), and 168.4 µg/mL in neat plasma (EDTA).

Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean APOC3 concentration was determined to be 111.9 µg/mL with a range of 52.19 – 314.5 µg/mL.
