About This Kit
Human PIVKA-II ELISA Kit quantifies DCP in serum and plasma.
The Human PIVKA-II solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the binding of the second (detector) antibody to the target on a different epitope from the capture antibody. An antibody conjugated with enzyme binds the formed sandwich. After incubation and washing steps to rid the microplate of unbound substances.
Rigorous validation:
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.

Target information
Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist-II (PIVKA-II), also known as des--carboxy prothrombin (DCP), is an abnormal form of prothrombin produced primarily by liver tissues under conditions of vitamin K deficiency or antagonism. This immature prothrombin variant lacks sufficient coagulation activity and is prominently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, serving as a crucial biomarker for screening and diagnosing HCC. PIVKA-II also appears in some cases of gastric cancer, albeit less frequently. Elevated serum levels of PIVKA-II are not exclusive to malignancies; they can also be seen in non-HCC conditions, which necessitates differential diagnostic strategies. The utility of PIVKA-II is further underscored by its ability to predict extrahepatic metastases in early HCC, supporting its role in comprehensive patient evaluation and monitoring.
