Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human Vaspin. Anti-Human Vaspin-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Human Vaspin matrix Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human Vaspin by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Biotinylated Anti-Human Vaspin (500-P256Bt) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant Human Vaspin. Western Blot: To detect Human Vaspin by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant Human Vaspin is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Vaspin is a newly described adipocytokine expressed predominantly in visceral white adipose tissues. Structure analysis of vaspin predicts the presence of three beta-sheets, nine alpha-helices, and one central loop, which are distinctive structural features of Serpin family members. The serpins are irreversible ('suicidal') serine-protease inhibitors, characterized by having more than 30% sequence homology with alpha1-antitrypsin and a conserved tertiary structure, which contains an exposed reactive center loop that acts as a pseudo-substrate for the target proteinase. Members of this family play an important role in a number of fundamental biological processes, including blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, complement activation, angiogenesis, inflammation, and tumor suppression. In humans, the serpins represent approximately 2% of total serum proteins, of which 70% is alpha1-antitrypsin. Vaspin exhibits 40.2% sequence identity with alpha1-antitrypsin. Yet, its protease inhibitory activity is still unknown. Vaspin mRNA expression in visceral fat is positively correlated with BMI and percent of body fat. Administration of vaspin to obese mice improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, reflected by normalized blood glucose levels. It also led to the reversal of altered expression of diabetes-relevant adipocytokines, including leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and TNF-alpha. These findings suggest a potential clinical use for Vaspin in ameliorating certain aberrations seen in the diabetic/obesity metabolic syndrome.
