Human OPG ELISA Kit: Precision Quantification of the Master Osteoclast Regulator

OPG: The Bone Metabolism Biomarker You Can't Afford to Misquantify
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted cytokine that functions as a decoy receptor for RANKL, blocking osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption[reference:0]. Its dysregulation is implicated in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer metastasis, and cardiovascular calcification. Accurate OPG quantification is therefore indispensable for bone biology, oncology, and metabolic research.
Yet many commercial OPG ELISA kits suffer from cross-reactivity with TNFRSF11B homologs, narrow dynamic ranges, and inconsistent lot-to-lot performance.
Superior Specificity: No Cross-Reactivity, No False Signals
Abbkine's Human OPG ELISA Kit (KTE60224) employs a two-site sandwich ELISA format with a monoclonal antibody specific for TNFRSF11B pre-coated onto the microplate[reference:1]. The kit demonstrates no significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human TNFRSF11B and its analogues[reference:2]—a critical advantage over generic kits that struggle with specificity in complex biological matrices like serum and plasma.
Validated Sample Types: From Serum to Cell Culture
| Sample Type | Compatibility |
