Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a hemoprotein that is abundantly expressed in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) and secreted during their activation. The presence of a peroxidase in the cytoplasmic granules of leukocytes was suggested at the beginning of 20th century but it was the early 1940s that it was purified for the first time.Native MPO is a covalently bound tetrameric complex of two glycosylated alpha chains (MW 59 – 64 kDa) and two unglycosylated beta chains (MW 14 kDa) with total MW about 150 kDa and theoretical pI 9.2. MPO plays an important role in neutrophil microbicidal action through catalyzing chloride ion oxidation to hypochlorous acid, which is a potent antimicrobial agent.

Sheep Myeloperoxidase (MPO) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MPO in samples. An antibody specific for MPO has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMPO present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MPO is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MPO bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
