General description

Bone metabolism is the dynamic process of ongoing bone deposition and resorption, controlled by osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. While osteoblasts and osteocytes (osteoblasts surrounded by matrix) are responsible for bone deposition, osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption. Both are required to maintain bone structure, as well as an adequate supply of calcium. To maintain this metabolic balance these cells rely on complex signaling pathways involving hormones and cytokines to achieve the appropriate rates of growth and differentiation. The disruption of bone metabolism results in such disease as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease and bone metastases. MILLIPLEX^® Human Bone Magnetic Bead kit is to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytics in human plasma, serum or tissue/cell lysate and culture supernatant samples: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), IL-6, Insulin, Leptin, TNFα, Osteopotegrin (OPG), Osteocalcin (OC), Osteopontin (OPN), Sclerostin (SOST), IL-1β, Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and FGF-23. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate. The Luminex^® xMAP^® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
