Background | E-selectin (also known as CD62E and ELAM-1), P-selectin and L-selectin are members of a small family of leukocyte adhesion molecules that share common structural motifs .Mature rat E-selectin is an inducible, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is transiently and principally expressed on endothelial cells (EC) after activation by cytokines or bacterial endotoxin .The molecule also has a transmembrane segment and a short cytoplasmic region that can transduce a signal in endothelial cells via mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase . E-selectin from different species contains varyingnumbers of SCRs. E-selectin mediates the initial rolling and subsequent stable adhesion of leukocytes, and allows for leukocyte activation by chemokines, leading to their extravasation at sites of inflammation. In general, E-selectin binds sialyl Lewis-x displayed on a number of glycoproteins or proteoglycans, including E-selectin ligand (ESL), P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA, a variant of PSGL-1), L-selectin (2) and 2-integrin . The role for many of these potential E-selectin ligands is not clearly understood. Integrin activation may involve E-selectin, either indirectly as a consequence of E-selectin binding to leukocyte E-selectin ligand(s), or through direct integrin-E-selectin interaction. The binding of E-selectin to the leukocyte integrin CD11/CD18 can lead to integrin activation. |
Gene ID | 3343 |
Pathways | Thromboxane A2 Receptor Signaling |
Sample Volume | 100 μL |
Plate | Pre-coated |
Protocol | This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for E-Selectin has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any E-Selectin present is bound by the immobilized antibody. An enzyme-linked monoclonal antibody specific for E-Selectin is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of E-Selectin bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. |
Reagent Preparation |
Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. Wash Buffer - If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm to room temperature and mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute 20 mL of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 500 mL of Wash Buffer. Standard - Reconstitute the Standard with 1.0 mL of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 10000 pg/mL. Allow the standard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making serial dilutions. The undiluted standard serves as the high 3 standard (10000 pg/mL). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 pg/mL). Detection Reagent A and B - Dilute to the working concentration specified on the vial label using Assay Diluent A and B (1:100), respectively. |
Sample Collection | Cell culture supernates - Remove particulates by centrifugation and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at ≤ -20 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Serum - Use a serum separator tube (SST) and allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at approximately 1000 x g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20 °C. Plasma - Collect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge samples for 15 minutes at 1000 x g at 2 - 8 °C within 30 minutes of collection. Store samples at ≤ -20 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Note: Citrate plasma has not been validated for use in this assay. |
Assay Procedure |
Allow all reagents to reach room temperature. Arrange and label required number of strips. |
Calculation of Results |
Average the duplicate readings for each standard, control, and sample and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Create a standard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a standard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the y-axis against the concentration on the x-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the E-Selectin concentrations versus the log of the O.D. and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor. |
Restrictions | For Research Use only |
Handling Advice |
1. The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label. 2. Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources. 3. If samples generate values higher than the highest standard, further dilute the samples with the Assay Diluent and repeat the assay. Any variation in standard diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique,incubation time or temperature, and kit age can cause variation in binding. 4. This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, ligands, binding proteins, and other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded. |
Storage | 4 °C/-20 °C |
Storage Comment | The Standard, Detection Reagent A, Detection Reagent B and the 96-well strip plate should be stored at -20 °C upon being received. The other reagents can be stored at 4 °C. |
