murine MAb against human PMN-Elastase, clone HD-Ela 15.3

Description
PMN elastase is localized in the azurophilic granules of the polymorphonuclear granulocytes. During phagocytosis of foreign substances these enzymes are also partially excreted into the extracellular surrounding, where the activity of PMN elastase is regulated by inhibitors (esp. the alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor, alpha 1- PI). An overwhelming release of PMN elastase, however, can exceed the inhibitory potential of the a1-proteinase inhibitor. Thus, enzymatically active PMN elastase, together with simultaneously produced oxidants (O2-radicals, H2O2, OH-radicals), can cause local tissue injury.

Polymorphonuclear elastase (PMN-Elastase) is used as an important marker for inflammatory diseases.    

Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG0030 (clone HD-ELA 15.3) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG₁.
The antibody has been purified from cell culture supernatant using Protein G affinity chromatography.
