Mouse Allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF1) ELISA Kit

Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate AIF1 in samples. An antibody specific for AIF1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyAIF1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for AIF1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of AIF1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Allograft inflammatory factor 1 is induced by cytokines and interferon. Its protein product is thought to be involved in negative regulation of growth of vascular smooth muscle cells, which contributes to the anti-inflammatory response to vessel wall trauma. Actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. May play a role in macrophage activation and function. Promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T-lymphocytes. Enhances lymphocyte migration. Plays a role in vascular inflammation.
