Integrin α 4 β 7 : MAdCAM-1 [Biotinylated] Inhibitor Screening ELISA Kit

背景（Background）

The integrin α4β7 is heterodimeric cell surface receptors expressed on most leukocytes. Mucosal addressing cell adhesion molecule 1(MAdCAM-1) is an exclusive ligand for α4β7 integrin. The interaction of integrin α4β7 with addressin mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) is central to IBD pathogenesis.

应用说明（Application）

This kit is developed for screening for inhibitors of human Integrin α 4 β 7 binding to human MAdCAM-1.

It is for research use only.

原理（Assay Principles）

This inhibitor screening ELISA kit is designed to facilitate the identification and characterization of new Integrin α 4 β 7 pathway inhibitors. The assay takes advantage of our in house-developed binding of biotinylated human MAdCAM-1 to immobilized human Integrin α 4 β 7 in a functional ELISA assay, and employs a simple colorimetric ELISA platform. Briefly, we provide you with a human Biotinylated MAdCAM-1 protein, a human Integrin α 4 β 7 protein, an anti-Integrin α 4 β 7 neutralizing antibody (as method verified Std.), and Streptavidin-HRP reagent.

Your experiment will include 4 simple steps:

a) Coat the plate with human Integrin α 4 β 7.

b) Add your molecule of interest to the tests.

c) Add human MAdCAM-1-Biotin to bind the coated Integrin α 4 β 7.

d) Add Streptavidin-HRP followed by TMB or other colorimetric HRP substrate.

Finally, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of your compound to Integrin α 4 β 7:MAdCAM-1 binding will be determined by comparing OD readings among different experimental groups.
