Product overview
Mouse Von Willebrand Factor A2 ELISA Kit (ab208980) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Von Willebrand Factor A2 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Von Willebrand Factor A2 with 37 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.

Notes
vWF A2 and vWF (von Willebrand Factor) are distinct proteins with non-overlapping amino acid sequences generated by proteolytic cleavage from the same precursor protein during intracellular processing. vWF is important in the maintenance of hemostasis; it is a glycoprotein that circulates in plasma as a series of high molecular weight multimers and mediates the adhesion of platelets to exposed sub-endothelium. vWF is synthesized in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. vWF A2 is found in plasma and platelets, from which they are released by their activation including thrombin. Both vWF and vWF A2 are deficient in von Willebrand’s disease.

Function
Important in the maintenance of hemostasis, it promotes adhesion of platelets to the sites of vascular injury by forming a molecular bridge between sub-endothelial collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex GPIb-IX-V. Also acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury, stabilizing its heterodimeric structure and protecting it from premature clearance from plasma. -
Tissue specificity
Plasma. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in VWF are the cause of von Willebrand disease (VWD) [MIM:277480]. VWD defines a group of hemorrhagic disorders in which the von Willebrand factor is either quantitatively or qualitatively abnormal resulting in altered platelet function. Symptoms vary depending on severity and disease type but may include prolonged bleeding time, deficiency of factor VIII and impaired platelet adhesion. Type I von Willebrand disease is the most common form and is characterized by partial quantitative plasmatic deficiency of an otherwise structurally and functionally normal Willebrand factor; type II is associated with a qualitative deficiency and functional anomalies of the Willebrand factor; type III is the most severe form and is characterized by total or near-total absence of Willebrand factor in the plasma and cellular compartments, also leading to a profound deficiency of plasmatic factor VIII. -

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.

Example of mouse vWF A2 standard curve.Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
-
Interpolated concentrations of native vWF A2 in mouse serum and plasma samples.The concentrations of vWF A2 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the vWF A2 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 0.75 %, plasma (citrate) 3.5 %, plasma (EDTA) 7.0 %, plasma (heparin) 3.5 %. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean vWF A2 concentration was determined to be 1003 ng/mL in serum, 146 ng/mL in plasma (citrate) 118 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA) and 190 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).
-
Interpolated concentrations of spiked mouse recombinant vWF A2 in serum-free cell culture media samplesThe concentrations of vWF A2 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the vWF A2 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: 7,000 pg/mL of vWF A2 in 100% serum-free cell culture media. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean spiked vWF A2 concentration was determined to be 5962 pg/mL in serum-free cell culture media.
