Nori Guinea Pig TLR4 ELISA Kit
$508.00 – $916.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of TLR4 in guinea pig. 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 TLR4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TLR4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for TLR4 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 TLR4 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR4 gene.[1][2] TLR 4 has also been designated as CD284 (cluster of differentiation 284). The molecular weight of TLR 4 is approximately 95 kDa. It is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. TLR 4 is responsible for activating the innate immune system. It is most well-known for recognizing lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component present in many Gram-negative bacteria and select Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Neisseria spp). Its ligands also include several viral proteins, polysaccharide, and a variety of endogenous proteins such as low-density lipoprotein, beta-defensins, and heat shock protein.[3] The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This receptor is most abundantly expressed in placenta, and in myelomonocytic subpopulation of the leukocytes. It cooperates with LY96 (also referred as MD-2) and CD14 to mediate in signal transduction events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) found in most gram-negative bacteria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with differences in LPS responsiveness. Several transcript variants of this gene have been found, but the protein-coding potential of most of them is uncertain.
