Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from aa region 50-100 of human pro Eosinophil peroxidase (pro EPO) conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
pro EPO, proEPO, pro EPER, pro EPO, pro EPP, pro EPX
Target
Function: Mediates tyrosine nitration of secondary granule proteins in mature resting eosinophils. Shows significant inhibitory activity towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by inducing bacterial fragmentation and lysis.
Allelic variant in EPX is associated with Japanese cedar pollinosis which is a type I allergic disease with ocular and nasal symptoms that develop paroxysmally on contact with Japanese cedar pollen. These symptoms, which occur seasonally each year, are typical features of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, excessive nasal secretion, nasal congestion, and conjunctival itching.
Defects in EPX are the cause of eosinophil peroxidase deficiency (EPD)
. EPD is an autosomal recessive defect where anomalous eosinophils are characterized by nuclear hypersegmentation, hypogranulation, and negative peroxidase and phospholipid staining.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic granule. Note: Cytoplasmic granules of eosinophils.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
