Principle of the Assay: This kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. The purified anti-KIM-1 antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plates. And the HRP conjugated anti-KIM-1 antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and HRP conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, mixed and incubated, then, unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates (A & B) were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the KIM-1 amount of sample captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader, and then the concentration of KIM-1 can be calculated.
Background/Introduction: KIM1(kidney injury molecule 1), also known as Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAVCR1 gene, which maps to 5q33.2. It is a major cause of orally transmitted acute hepatitis, infects primate cells, but not dog or rat cells, after binding to the HAV cellular receptor (HAVCR). Infection of canine osteogenic sarcoma cells expressing HAVCR1 with HAV led Feigelstock et al. (1998) to conclude that the protein is indeed a receptor for the virus. Khademi et al. (2004) found that differential expression of TIMs by Th1 and Th2 cells may be implicated in different phases of an autoimmune disease.
Product Notes
The Rat Kim-1 (Catalog #
AAA355395) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355395 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat Kim-1. AAA Biotech's Kim-1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of KIM-1 in rat serum, plasma, urine, cell culture supernatant or tissue samples. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Kim-1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Kim-1, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
