Human Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EndoCAM) ELISA Kit

This Human Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EndoCAM) ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for quantitative detection of human PECAM-1 in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.

This human PECAM-1 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for PECAM-1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(CHO, Q28-K601) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for PECAM-1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human PECAM-1 amount of sample captured in plate.

Additional Information: The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Human platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM1), an important member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, is widely distributed on cells of the vascular system and mediates cellular interactions through both homophilic and heterophilic adhesive mechanisms. The function of PECAM1 in vitro has begun to be understood, but its function in vivo is yet to be established.1 The PECAM1 locus is on the long arm of chromosome 17, in the region q23-qter. To confirm this observation and obtain a more precise localization of the PECAM1 locus, fluorescence in situ hybridization was conducted. Together our data allowed assignment of the PECAM1 locus to the region 17q23.2 To examine the functional role of PECAM-1 in regulating platelet-collagen interactions, 2 different approaches were applied using recombinant human PECAM-1-immunoglobulin chimeras and platelets derived from PECAM-1-deficient mice.3 PECAM-1, an integral membrane protein with an essential role in TEM, is found in this compartment and constitutively recycles evenly along endothelial cell borders.4 The standard used in this kit is the product of gene recombinant expression(extracellular part), consisting of 574 amino acids(Q28-K601) with the molecular weight of 64.5KDa. After glycosylating, its molecular weight changes to 90-100KDa.; Immunogen sequence: 420
