It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Rat Fractalkine with 9.8 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep 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:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CL1 also known as fractalkine is a chemokine protein characterized mechanically by its dual function as both a chemoattractant and adhesion molecule. It exhibits a unique membrane-bound structure and can exist in a soluble form after proteolytic cleavage. The mass of CX3CL1 is approximately 42-45 kDa. This protein is highly expressed in endothelial cells neurons and tissues with substantial vascularization. Considerable interest surrounds the potential of CX3CL1 assessment in various studies often involving applications like fractalkine ELISA or assays on mouse models.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CL1 is involved in the immune system and nervous system functions influencing leukocyte adhesion and migration. It is not known to be part of a large multiprotein complex but directly interacts with its fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 on the surface of immune cells. This interaction regulates communication between neurons and microglia which highlights its role in neuroinflammation. CX3CL1's expression and function suggest a significant influence over inflammatory responses and homeostatic balance within these systems.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CL1 plays a role in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt pathways vital for cell survival proliferation and migration. Within these pathways CX3CL1 influences and interacts with several proteins thereby modulating inflammatory responses and cellular migration. These pathways are essential for immune system regulation where CX3CL1 acts as a mediator in signal transduction processes that connect immune responses to cellular activities such as proliferation and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CL1 has associations with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Alterations in CX3CL1 expression or its fractalkine receptor function can influence disease progression by affecting how immune cells communicate and migrate to inflamed or damaged tissues. CX3CR1 the receptor for CX3CL1 represents an important link in these connections driving research efforts to explore therapies targeting these interactions to alleviate disease symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843591000233,"sku":"ab229890","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab229890","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
