ELISA Assay Kit for Anti-CTLA-4 h-mAb in Mouse Serum | ECM-V1| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe
CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4) is also known as CD152 (Cluster of differentiation 152), is a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system. CTLA4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which is expressed on the surface of Helper T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. The protein contains an extracellular V domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Alternate splice variants, encoding different isoforms. CTLA4 is similar to the T-cell co-stimulatory protein, CD28, and both molecules bind to CD80 and CD86, also called B7-1 and B7-2 respectively, on antigen-presenting cells. CTLA4 transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells, whereas CD28 transmits a stimulatory signal. Intracellular CTLA4 is also found in regulatory T cells and may be important to their function. Fusion proteins of CTLA4 and antibodies (CTLA4-Ig) have been used in clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis.

Molecule: CTLAN/A4.
Format: Solid.
Species: Mouse.
Application: N/A.
Kit Component: The enclosed ELISA assay kit for anti-CTLA-4 h-mAb in mouse serum is based on an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) between recombinant CTLA-4 protein (ECD) and a biotinylated anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody. The method employs the principle of competitive ELISA, allowing quantification of monoclonal anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in mouse serum.
