Application

Application Comment Organism
analysis development of a 77-amino acid flow cytometry substrate to measure ADAMTS13 activity. Substrate is suitable for microsphere-cytometer based assays in the milieu of human blood plasma. It contains the partial A2-domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF amino acids 1594-1670) that is mutated to include a single primary amine at the N-terminus and free cysteines at the C-terminus. Substrate is bound to streptavidin-bearing microspheres with varyable polyethylene glycol spacer lengths. Recombinant ADAMTS13 activity can be quantified using substrates with all varyable polyethylene glycol repeat-lengths, but only a construct with the longer 77 PEG-unit can quantify proteolysis in blood plasma. Plasma ADAMTS13 down to 5% of normal levels can be detected within 30 min. Enzyme catalytic activity is tuned by varying buffer calcium, with lower divalent ion concentrations enhancing cleavage Homo sapiens
