Nori Equine beta-Defensin 3 (BD-3) ELISA Kit

DataSheet   CoA   SDS

This ELISA kit is for quantification of BD-3 in horse. 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 BD-3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any BD-3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for BD-3 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 BD-3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Alternative names for BD-3: DEFB3, beta-Defensin 3

Background: 

Beta defensins are a family of mammalian defensins. The beta defensins are antimicrobial peptides implicated in the resistance of epithelial surfaces to microbial colonization. Defensins are 2-6 kDa, cationic, microbicidal peptides active against many Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses,[1] containing three pairs of intramolecular disulfide bonds. On the basis of their size and pattern of disulfide bonding, mammalian defensins are classified into alpha, beta and theta categories. Every mammalian species explored thus far has beta-defensins. In cows, as many as 13 beta-defensins exist in neutrophils. However, in other species, beta-defensins are more often produced by epithelial cells lining various organs (e.g. the epidermis, bronchial tree and genitourinary tract). Beta-defensins induce the activation and degranulation of mast cells, resulting in the release of histamine and prostaglandin D2.[2] β-defensins are coding for genes which impact the function of the innate immune system.[3] These genes are responsible for production of antimicrobial peptides found in white blood cells such as macrophages, granulocytes and NK-cells, β-defensins are also found in epithelial cells.[4] β-defensins are cationic and can therefore interact with the membrane of invading microbes, which are negative due to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) found in the cell membrane.[1] Due to changes in the electric potential, peptides will pass across the membrane and thus aggregate into dimers.[5] Pore complex will be created as a result of breaking the hydrogen bonds between the amino acids in the terminal end of the strands connecting defensins monomers.[7] Formation of pore complex will cause membrane depolarization and cell lysis.[5] Defensins not only have the ability to strengthen the innate immune system but can also enhance the adaptive immune system by chemotaxis of monocytes, T-lymphocytes, dendritic cells and mast cells to the infection site.[5] Defensins will also improve the capacity of macrophage phagocytosis.[5]
