p504s, also known as α-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR), is an enzyme localized in the peroxisome and mitochondria, which functions in β-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids, as well as bile synthesis. AMACR has been clinically indicated as a tissue biomarker for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer, as well as high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, a precursor lesion of prostate cancer. p504s overexpression has also been detected in a number of other cancers including ovarian, breast, bladder, lung, and renal cell carcinomas, lymphoma, and melanoma.

Overview

• Detection kits for H1N1
• CE-IVD marked version available for in vitro diagnostic use
• Available in TaqMan format for analysis

Influenza is caused by three immunologic types of RNA viruses (A, B and C) within the Orthomyxoviridae family. Seasonal influenza is typically caused by three major subtypes of hemaglutinin (H1, H2 and H3) and two subtypes of neuraminidase (N1 and N2). A novel sub-type of influenza A virus called pandemic H1N1 2009 virus was identified in Mexico and reported by the CDC and WHO in April, 2009 (Novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus investigation team, 2009; CDC, 2009; and Fraser et al., 2009). H1N1 2009 is a novel sub-type virus that transmits easily between humans with 21 countries reporting cases within a month of initial identification (CDC, 2009-b). It is essential that public health laboratories around the world undertake detailed surveillance to monitor the spread and impact of pandemic H1N1 2009 virus as well as try to predict future changes in virulence (Fraser et al., 2009). Methods for the rapid diagnosis, case identification and tracking of this novel pathogen in the human population are therefore required to develop appropriate management strategies to mitigate morbidity and mortality.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
