Nori Human VCAM-1 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of VCAM-1 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 VCAM-1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any VCAM-1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for VCAM-1 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 VCAM-1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) or cluster of differentiation 106 (CD106) is a protein that is encoded by the VCAM1 gene.[1] The VCAM-1 mediates the adhesion of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils to vascular endothelium. It functions in leukocyte-endothelial cell signal transduction, and it may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Upregulation of VCAM-1 in endothelial cells by cytokines occurs as a result of increased gene transcription (e.g., in response to TNF-α and Interleukin-1 and through stabilization of mRNA for cytokine genes (e.g., IL-4). The promoter region of the VCAM-1 gene contains functional tandem NF-κB sites. The sustained expression of VCAM-1 lasts over 24 hours. VCAM-1 is an endothelial ligand for VLA-4 of the β1 subfamily of integrins. VCAM-1 expression has also been observed in other cell types (e.g., smooth muscle cells). It interacts with EZR and Moesin.[2] VCAM-1 also exists on the surface of some subpopulations of mesenchymal stem cells(MSC).[3]
Certain melanoma cells can use VCAM-1 to adhere to the endothelium,[4] VCAM-1 may participate in monocyte recruitment to atherosclerotic sites, and it is highly overexpressed in the inflamed brain.[5]
