Human Immune Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells 1 (IREM1) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to IREM1. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to IREM1. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain IREM1, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of IREM1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Acts as an inhibitory receptor for myeloid cells and mast cells (PubMed:15549731). Positively regulates the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) via phosphatidylserine (PS) recognition; recognizes and binds PS as a ligand which is expressed on the surface of apoptotic cells. Plays an important role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis, by promoting macrophage-mediated efferocytosis and by inhibiting dendritic cell-mediated efferocytosis (By similarity). Negatively regulates Fc epsilon receptor-dependent mast cell activation and allergic responses via binding to ceramide and sphingomyelin which act as ligands (PubMed:24035150). May act as a coreceptor for interleukin 4 (IL-4). Associates with and regulates IL-4 receptor alpha-mediated responses by augmenting IL-4- and IL-13-induced signaling (By similarity). Negatively regulates the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling mediated by MYD88 and TRIF through activation of PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 (PubMed:22043923). Inhibits osteoclast formation. Induces macrophage cell death upon engagement (By similarity).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level IREM1 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level IREM1 were tested on 3 different plates, with 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.062ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.156-10ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of IREM1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between IREM1 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between IREM1 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
