Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Lactoferrin specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Lactoferrin captured in plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nGet results in 90 minutes with Human Lactoferrin ELISA Kit (\u003cbr\u003e\nab200015\u003cbr\u003e\n) from our SimpleStep ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\nrange.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nLactoferrin also known as lactotransferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80 kDa. It predominantly exists in mammalian milk particularly in high concentrations in colostrum and is also found in various epithelial secretions such as saliva tears and nasal fluids. The liver and neutrophils also produce lactoferrin and it plays a significant role in the body's primary defense system. As an antibacterial agent lactoferrin sequesters free iron to limit bacterial growth and disrupt biofilms assisting in the protection against microbial invasions.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nLactoferrin exhibits multiple functions beyond its antimicrobial properties. It contributes to immunomodulation by binding to specific receptors on immune cells enhancing phagocytosis and influencing cytokine production. Also it possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Lactoferrin interacts with cellular components including glycosaminoglycans and lipoproteins impacting the activity and expression of proteins within signaling and metabolic pathways. This multifaceted role places it as a critical participant in both innate and adaptive immune responses although it does not form part of a stable protein complex.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nLactoferrin plays a significant role in the iron metabolism and immune response pathways. It tightly interacts with the transferrin receptor modulating iron uptake and distribution across tissues which helps prevent iron overload and oxidative stress. Furthermore lactoferrin links with the toll-like receptor pathways particularly TLR4 which enables the modulation of innate immune responses against pathogens. By influencing nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) signaling lactoferrin impacts inflammation and immune responses working together with proteins such as ferritin and hepcidin.\u003cbr\u003e\nLactoferrin has relevancy to diseases like anemia of chronic disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Its role in regulating iron homeostasis makes it essential for preventing anemia associated with chronic inflammation. Lactoferrin mitigates dysregulated immune responses in IBD potentially reducing inflammation and promoting gut health. Disease-modifying properties of lactoferrin connect it to glycoproteins like transferrin and inflammatory mediators demonstrating its potential therapeutic importance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843618853033,"sku":"ab108882","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab108882","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
