TREM-1, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Mouse) (Triggering Receptor Expresses on Myeloid Cells-1)

Trem1, Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, is encoded by Trem1 gene. The expression of Trem1 is in monocytes and neutrophils but not in lymphocytes, dendritic cells, or other cell types. Trem1 is a 30-kD glycoprotein that is reduced to 26 kD by deglycosylation, in agreement with the predicted molecular mass. The Trem1 gene which contains 4 exons maps to chromosome 6p21.1, within a TREM gene cluster and the mouse Trem1 gene maps to chromosome 17 in a region that shows homology of synteny to human chromosome 6. The expression of Trem1 is upregulated by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide(LPS), gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. Cross-linking of Trem1 on neutrophils induces interleukin-8(IL8) and myeloperoxidase secretion, while cross-linking on monocytes induces not only secretion of IL8 but also of monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP1, or SCYA2) and tumor necrosis factor(TNF), MCP1 and TNF secretion could be further upregulated by LPS-mediated priming. Trem1 engagement also induces upregulation of adhesion molecules(e.g., ITGB1) and costimulatory molecules(e.g., CD40). Trem1 is associated with DAP12(TYROBP), a molecule frequently associated with activating receptors. Sample Type: Cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA), cell lysates and tissue homogenates, Intended Use: For quantitative detection of mouse TREM-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA), cell lysates and tissue homogenates. Sensitivity: <10pg/ml, Range: 31.2-2000pg/ml, Specificity: Natural and recombinant mouse TREM-1, Test Principle: This mouse TREM-1 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for TREM-1 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TREM-1 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was 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 mouse TREM-1 amount of sample captured in plate.
