Nori Human NLRP3 (NALP3) ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of NLRP3/NALP3 in human. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for NLRP3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any NLRP3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for NLRP3 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of NLRP3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NALP3), also known as cryopyrin, is a protein that in Canines is encoded by the NLRP3 gene. NALP3 is expressed predominantly in macrophages and and its activation triggers an immune response. Mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated with a number of organ specific autoimmune diseases such as CAPS, FCAS, MWS, CINCA, NOMID.[1] NALP3 is a component of the innate immune system that functions as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).[2] NALP3 belongs to the NOD-like receptor (NLR) subfamily of PRRs and NALP3 together with the adaptor ASC protein PYCARD forms a caspase-1 activating complex known as the NALP3 inflammasome. NALP3 in the absence of activating signal is kept in an inactive state complexed with HSP90 and SGT1 in the cytoplasm. NALP3 inflammasome detects danger signals such as crystalline uric acid and extracellular ATP released by damaged cells. These signals release HSP90 and SGT1 from and recruit ASC protein and caspase-1 to the inflammasome complex. Caspase-1 within the activated NALP3 inflammasome complex in turn activates the inflammatory cytokine, IL-1β.[2] The NALP3 inflammasome appears to be activated by changes in intracellular potassium caused by potassium efflux from mechanosensitive ion channels located in the cell membrane.[3] It appears that NALP3 is also regulated by reactive oxygen species, though the precise mechanisms of such regulation has not been determined.[4] Amelioration of Canine models of many diseases has been shown to occur by deletion of the NLRP3 inflammasome, including gout, type 2 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and atherosclerosis.[5]
