A parallelism experiment was carried out to determine if the recombinant Human SMN standard accurately determines SMN concentrations in biological matrices. To assess parallelism, values for Human PBMC lysate and mouse tissue extract was obtained from a standard curve using four parameter logistic curve fitting. The observed concentration was plotted against the dilution factor. Parallelism of the curves demonstrates that the antibody binding characteristics are similar enough to allow the accurate determination of analyte levels in diluted samples.
