Images
Y J Choi investigate the effective of complement component 3 (C3) deficiency promoting its receptor downstream-mediated inflammatory response. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of mouse colon was determined using MPO activity assay kit (E-BC-K074-M).

The activity of MPO indicating the neutrophil level was slightly higher in the KO (C3 knockout) than WT (wild type) mice.
Dilution of Sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (19.42-893.31 U/L).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| Human serum | 1 |
| Human plasma | 1 |
| Human milk | 1 |
| Cell culture supernatant | 1 |
| Rat serum | 1 |
| Rat plasma | 1 |
| 5% Rat kidney tissue homogenate | 1 |
| 5% Rat spleen tissue homogenate | 1 |
Note: The diluent is reagent 2 application solution.
Detection Principle
Myeloperoxidase reduces hydrogen peroxide to a complex. The complex react with o-dianisidine (as hydrogen donor) to produce a yellow product which has a maximum absorption peak at 460 nm. The activity of MPO can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 460nm.

Technical Data:
Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 36.50 | 264.50 | 579.60 |
| %CV | 5.8 | 5.4 | 5.0 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (U/L) | 36.50 | 264.50 | 579.60 |
| %CV | 7.2 | 7.5 | 7.2 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 104%.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (U/L) | 95.6 | 342.5 | 678.2 |
| Observed Conc. (U/L) | 95.6 | 363.1 | 718.9 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 100 | 106 | 106 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 19.42 U/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
