Product details:
Human MAdCAM1 SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MAdCAM1 protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma, Cell culture media. Quantitate Human MAdCAM1 with 13 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA
microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA

MAdCAM-1 also known as mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 or mucosal tag is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa. The MAdCAM-1 protein is expressed prominently on high endothelial venules within mucosal tissues such as the gut and the colon. Additionally it also appears in the endothelial cells of lymphoid tissues. Another name for it is MECA-79 highlighting its recognition by the MECA-79 antibody. Mucosal tags label regions where MAdCAM-1 assists in cell adhesion processes.
Biological function summary
MAdCAM-1 facilitates lymphocyte homing to mucosal tissues. It plays a part in the adhesive interactions between endothelial cells and lymphocytes as a component of the immune surveillance system enabling T cells and B cells to move into areas where they are needed. MAdCAM-1 forms complexes with integrins notably alpha4beta7 which are integral to its adhesion functions. Through its role in guiding lymphocytes it influences immune response and inflammation in mucosal environments.
Pathways
MAdCAM-1 contributes importantly to the trafficking of immune cells. It is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration pathways. The protein interacts extensively with the integrin family especially integrin alpha4beta7 which facilitates lymphocyte entry into the intestinal wall. Additionally it works with chemokine receptors and cytokines that further influence cell movement and homing to specific tissues. This integrative role reinforces its importance in immune response and mucosal immunity.
MAdCAM-1 links closely to inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Its expression is upregulated in these inflammatory conditions which leads to increased lymphocyte accumulation in the gut. This condition exacerbates the inflammation and tissue damage characteristic of these disorders. MECA-79 a monoclonal antibody targets MAdCAM-1 to aid therapeutic approaches in mitigating inflammation driven by lymphocyte infiltration. Understanding MAdCAM-1 and its function offers potential pathways to target and treat these chronic inflammatory diseases.
