A competitive assay that can be used for quantification of PGD₂.


  • Measure PGD₂ in multiple sample types
  • Assay 24 samples in triplicate or 36 samples in duplicate
  • Measure PGD₂ levels down to 55 pg/ml
  • Incubation: 18 hours
  • Development: 90 to 120 minutes
  • Read: Colorimetric at 405 to 420 nm


Prostaglandin D2 (PGD₂) is biosynthesized in the brain by a soluble, 26 kDa glutathione-independent lipocalin-type PGD₂ synthase. This PGD₂ accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), where it induces physiologic sleep in rats and humans. PGD₂ is also synthesised in mast cells and leukocytes by a cellular, myeloid-type, glutathione-dependent PGD synthase. This PGD₂ which is formed in the intracellular and vascular compartments is rapidly metabolised to 11β-PGF and other metabolites.


Measurement of the parent eicosanoid PGD₂ is appropriate in cell culture lysates and in CSF, where concentrations of several hundred pg/ml have been measured. Cayman’s PGD₂ ELISA kit is a competitive assay that can be used for quantification of PGD₂ in cell culture lysates and enzymatic reactions.
