Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Lipoteichoic acid and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Sample	1：2	1:4	1:8	1:16
serum(n=5)	99-111%	101-113%	91-103%	87-95%
EDTA plasma(n=5)	103-115%	83-93%	94-103%	110-120%
heparin plasma(n=5)	105-114%	100-109%	92-101%	100-110%

General Annotation

Sub Unit:

N/A

Function:

LTA may bind to target cells non-specifically through membrane phospholipids, or specifically to CD14 and to Toll-like receptors. Binding to TLR-2 has shown to induce NF-κB expression(a central transcription factor), elevating expression of both pro- and anti-apoptotic genes. Its activation also induces mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) activation along with Phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation.

Location:

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major constituent of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. These organisms have an inner (or cytoplasmic) membrane and, external to it, a thick (up to 80 nanometer) peptidoglycan layer. The structure of LTA varies between the different species of Gram positive bacteria and may contain long chains of ribitol or glycerol phosphate. LTA is anchored to the cell membrane via a glyceride. It acts as regulator of autolytic wall enzymes (muramidases). It has antigenic properties being able to stimulate specific immune response and is released from the bacterial cells mainly after bacteriolysis induced by lysozyme, cationic peptides from leucocytes, or beta-lactam antibiotics.
