Product details:
Abcam's CXCL5 Rat ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of rat CXCL5 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for rat CXCL5 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and CXCL5 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-rat CXCL5 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CXCL5 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

CXCL5 also known as LIX (Liposaccharide-induced CXC chemokine) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It plays a significant role in immunological responses by acting as a chemoattractant for neutrophils. CXCL5 has a molecular mass of around 12 kDa. The protein is mainly expressed in neutrophils epithelial cells and endothelial cells. It is often studied alongside its competitors in different therapeutic and diagnostic contexts.
Biological function summary
CXCL5 affects inflammation and the immune response by modulating neutrophil recruitment to sites of infection or injury. It is a part of the larger network of chemokines that direct leukocyte movement throughout the body. While CXCL5 does not form a complex in a traditional sense it does interact dynamically with CXCR2 receptor to exert its effects. These interactions are pivotal to the protein’s role in orchestrating the immune system’s response to diverse stimuli.
Pathways
CXCL5 plays a part in the chemokine signaling pathway and the inflammatory response pathway. These pathways are important in mediating immune surveillance and inflammation. CXCL5 through these pathways has a strong connection to other CXC family proteins like CXCL1 and the receptor CXCR2 which allows for a coordinated response during immune challenges and recovery processes.
CXCL5 is relevant in the context of chronic inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer specifically its role in tumor-related inflammation. In these conditions CXCL5 is linked to the exacerbation of inflammatory states and promotion of tumor growth via angiogenesis. The protein's interactions with CXCR2 play a significant role in these disease processes representing potential therapeutic targets for managing inflammation and modulating cancer progression.
