Assay Principle

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a highly cationic glycosolated hemoprotein that has a molecular weight of 144kD. The hemoprotein consists of two dimers linked via a disulfide bridge. Each dimmer is composed of a heavy (53kD) and light (15kD) subunit. Each heavy chain contains an independently acting protoporphyrin group containing a central iron (1-5). MPO is present in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and is unique to neutrophils and monocytes. However, monocytes contain only one third of the MPO found in PMN’s. MPO utilizes H202 produced by the neutrophils to oxidize a varity of aromatic compounds to give substrate radicals for bactericidal activity (4 review). This enzyme is unique however in that it can oxidize chloride ions to produce a strong nonradical oxidant,HOCl. HOCl is the most powerfull bactericidal produced by neutrophils (4 review). Excessive production of these radicals can cause oxidative stress leading to oxidative tissue injury.

Excitation:530-571nm; Emission: 590-600nm
Applications
  • Detection of MPO activity in neutrophils and macrophages.
  • Detection of PMN infiltration in tissue samples (inflammation and innate host defense mechanisms).
  • Acute and chronic inflammatory disorders due to oxidative tissue damage.
  • MPO activity in acute and chronic manifestations of cardiovascular disease.
MPO


Figure 1. MPO standard curve was serially diluted in 1X Reaction Buffer. Reaction cocktail (RC) was prepared as described (without EPO inhibitor). Next 50uL of MPO standard and 50uL of RC was added to individual well of a 96 well black plates. The plate was incubated at room and temperature in the dark. Data collected Ex:530nm Em:590nm
