Alternate Names for HE4/WFDC2 Antibody
Background
HE4, or human epididymis protein 4, is overexpressed in ovarian carcinomas (1-3). Ovarian cancer represents one disease where cure rate can be increased if the disease is diagnosed early. While the most routinely used serum marker is CA-125, this marker is elevated in only about 50% in patients in early disease stages. Conversely, by ELISA, HE4 detectable levels in serum appear far more frequently in patients with nonmalignant or early disease stages unlike CA-125. So whereas HE4 levels are elevated in about 90% of woman with ovarian cancer, HE4 is not frequently overexpressed as is CA-125 in patients with benign gynecologic diseases (4). Additionally, in conjunction with CA-125 and another serum marker, mesothelin, HE4 adds to a promising combination for earlier detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Antibody to HE4 provides a useful tool for detection and potential quantization and further assessment of more in depth potential of HE4 as a biomarker in ovarian cancer.

I would like to build a sandwich ELISA for detection of HE4 levels in human blood. I found there are several HE4 antibodies from your company. Could you please provide me some information among these products, which two antibodies will work well with the HE4 antigen in a sandwich ELISA pair?
- At this time we have not tested any of our HE4 antibodies for use in a Sandwich ELISA. As such, we cannot say with certainty, which will work together as an effective pair. Often times in our experience, choosing a monoclonal antibody for capture, and a polyclonal antibody for detection will yield great results. If you plan on testing any of our HE4 antibodies for use in a Sandwich ELISA then we would encourage you to apply for our Innovators Reward Program. Under the terms of this program, you will be eligible for a full credit in exchange for your data, in the form of an online review, regardless of positive or negative results.
