The Quantikine Human CA125/MUC16 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human CA125 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, and human milk. It contains CHO cell-expressed recombinant human CA125 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human CA125 showed linear curves that were parallel to th...e standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human CA125.
Store the unopened product at 2 - 8 °C. Do not use past expiration date.

Background
The CA125 antigen, also known as MUC16, is a mucin protein that may be found in type I transmembrane or secreted forms that are used monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer therapy. Expression of isoforms, proteolytic cleavage, and heavy N- and O- linked glycosylation produce forms of human CA125 that can vary from 200-5000 kDa in size. It inhibits NK cell activity, which is thought to contribute to immune evasion in peritoneal cancer and pregnancy.
