The LANCE® Ultra Human Apo-CIII Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of ApoC3 in buffered solution and cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay.
LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One antibody of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore (ULight™ dye). Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.
Apolipoprotein CIII (ApoCIII), a relatively small protein (79 amino acids), is a component of very low density lipoproteins. Apo-CIII delays the catabolism of triglyceride rich particles by inhibiting the activities of lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and blocks the uptake of triglyceride-rich particles by the cells. Therefore, ApoCIII has been associated with coronary heart disease and diabetes. An increase in ApoCIII levels induces the development of hypertriglyceridemia and associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

The introduction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the early 1970’s offered researchers a non-radiometric immunoassay platform without compromising sensitivity. Over the last 50 years scientists have made huge strides in disease research and drug discovery and a demand for greater ...
