Invitrogen™ Mouse ST2 (IL-33R) Uncoated ELISA Kit with Plates

Description

ELISA

The Mouse ST-2 (IL-33R) Uncoated ELISA Kit contains pre-matched antibody pairs, plates and reagents for performing quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to detect and quantify protein levels of mouse IL-33R. Wash Buffer and Stop Solution are needed to complete the ELISA reaction and are sold separately. Principle of the method ELISAs are designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody is coated to the bottom of the wells of a microplate, which is an overnight process. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. A sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.

IL-33R, also known as ST2, is a receptor for IL-33. It is a member of the IL-1 receptor family of innate receptors. Its extracellular domain consists of 3 Ig-like domains that directly interact with its co-receptor IL-1RAcP, and the ligand alarmin, IL-33. IL-33 ligation results in the association of IL-33R complex with its adaptor proteins MyD88, IRAK1, IRAK4 and TRAF6, and activation of the NF-kB, and MAPK pathways. This, in turn, instigates the release of chemokines and cytokines such as IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-13. Two most common isoforms of IL-33R that result from alternative splicing are ST2L - the membrane bound form, and ST2S - the soluble form. The membrane bound form can be released from the cell surface by proteolytic cleavage. The soluble forms have been suggested to act as decoys dampening the IL-33 signaling. IL-33R is primarily expressed by mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. In mouse, IL-33R expression has been shown on ILC2 and Th2 cells. IL-33R signaling has been implicated in the number of immune conditions, including allergies, arthritis, atherosclerosis and sepsis.
