Product details:
Human MR1 SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MR1 protein in Cell Lysate. Quantitate Human MR1 with 9.69 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

MR1 also known as the MR1 receptor or MR1 protein is an important player in the immune system. It weighs around 37 kilodaltons. This protein expresses prominently in many tissues such as the liver lymphoid tissues and the intestine. MR1 binds a range of small molecules derived from vitamin B metabolites. It presents these metabolites to a specific group of immune cells known as mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells leading to their activation.
Biological function summary
MR1 varies its mechanism by forming complexes with antigens that lack traditional peptide structure. It performs a major role in the immune response particularly through its interactions with MAIT cells. These cells represent an important intersection between innate and adaptive immunity responding rapidly to many pathogen-associated metabolites presented by MR1. This response contributes importantly to host protection especially against microbial infections.
Pathways
MR1 is an integral component in the vitamin B antigen presentation pathway. It interacts significantly with other molecules involved in antigen presentation. MR1's function anchors it within the host-pathogen interaction pathways and connects with proteins like beta-2-microglobulin (β2M) which is important for surface expression. Its activity complements classical MHC pathways although it operates independently in presenting non-peptide antigens.
MR1 contributes to understanding certain autoimmune conditions and infectious diseases. It connects to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis where MAIT cell activation plays a critical role in the immune response. Additionally MR1 has links to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) a condition where gut microbiota activation of MAIT cells through MR1 may influence the disease outcome. Understanding its role in these diseases can provide insights into how MR1 or related proteins might be targeted for therapeutic interventions.
