CD226:CD155 Homogeneous Assay Kit | 72052 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Immunotherapy/Assay Kit
Application: Useful for screening for inhibitors of CD226 binding to CD155
Background: CD226 is an activating receptor expressed on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, platelets, and T cells. Its natural ligands are CD112 and CD155 which are expressed by antigen presenting cells (APC). Binding of CD226 to either CD112 or CD155 triggers NK cell effector function and can promote Th1 cell differentiation in T cells. CD226 competes for binding with CD112 and CD155 with the co-inhibitory receptor TIGIT. Agonistic CD226 monoclonal antibodies are being explored as potential therapeutics in settings where immune activation is beneficial, such as cancer.
Description: The CD226:CD155 Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure the inhibition of CD226 binding to CD155 (PVR). The CD226:CD155 Homogeneous Assay Kit comes in a convenient AlphaLISA® format with purified biotinylated CD226, His-tagged CD155, and assay buffer to perform a total of 384 reactions. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required. First, a sample containing CD226 and an inhibitor of choice is incubated with the CD155 for 60 minutes. Next, acceptor beads are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.
