Purity is tested by electrophoresis.
Recommend centrifuging the unopened vial at 500-1000 RPMfor 2 minutes to concentrate antibody in bottom of vial. The purified MPO antigen can be used for the detection of anti-MPO autoantibodies in immunoassays. The anti-MPO autoantibodies are associated with the wide range of systemic vasculitides, eg. Low to moderate anti-MPO autoantibodies are also reported in rheumatoid arthritis. Cross reactivity will occur against myeloperoxidases from other species and tissues.
