Osteoprotegerin (OPG), also known as OCIF and TNFRSF11B, is a secreted TNF superfamily receptor that regulates bone density. OPG is widely expressed and constitutively released as a homodimer by mesenchymal stem cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. OPG functions as a decoy receptor for TRANCE/RANK L and TRAIL. OPG regulates the cell surface expression of TRANCE and its ability to stimulate osteoclastogenesis. Dysregulation of OPG/TRANCE interactions can lead to juvenile Paget’s disease, osteoporosis, bone loss, and vascular calcification.

Recovery for Mouse Osteoprotegerin/TNFRSF11B Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of mouse OPG spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Supernates (n=9) | 101 | 85-116 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=9) | 97 | 88-107 |
| Serum (n=11) | 93 | 83-108 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, five or more samples containing various concentrations of OPG in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.

Protocols
View specific protocols for Mouse Osteoprotegerin/TNFRSF11B Quantikine ELISA Kit (MOP00):
- Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert.
- Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.
- Add 50 µL of Assay Diluent to each well.
- Add 50 µL of Standard, Control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 4 times for a total of 5 washes.
- Add 100 µL of Conjugate to each well. Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Aspirate and wash 5 times.
- Add 100 µL Substrate Solution to each well. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. PROTECT FROM LIGHT.
- Add 100 µL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.
