Description
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated ANTIgen-4 (CTLA-4), also known as CD152, is a kind of leukocyte differentiation antigen and a transmembrane receptor on T cells, sharing B7 ligand with CD28. The binding of CTLA-4 with B7 induces T cells to be non-reactive and participates in the negative regulation of immune response. The recombinant CTLA-4 Ig can effectively and specifically inhibit cellular and humoral immune responses in vivo and in vitro, and has significant therapeutic effects on transplant rejection and various autoimmune diseases with very low toxicity. It is considered as a promising new immunosuppressive drug at present.
Assay Principles
This inhibitor screening ELISA kit is designed to facilitate the identification and characterization of new CTLA-4 pathway inhibitors. The assay takes advantage of our in house-developed binding of biotinylated human CTLA-4 to immobilized human B7-1 in a functional ELISA assay, and employs a simple colorimetric ELISA platform. Briefly, we provide you with a human Biotinlated CTLA-4 protein, a human B7-1 protein, an anti-CTLA-4 neutralizing antibody (as method verified Std.), and Streptavidin-HRP reagent.
Your experiment will include 4 simple steps:
a) Coat the plate with human B7-1.
b) Add your molecule of interest to the tests.
c) Add human CTLA-4-Biotin to bind the coated human B7-1.
d) Add Streptavidin-HRP followed by TMB or other colorimetric HRP substrate.
Finally, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of your compound to CTLA-4: B7-1 binding will be determined by comparing OD readings among different experimental groups.
