This assay can facilitate the design and development of therapetics by using competitive binding.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo-wash steps, no separation steps\u003cbr\u003e\nEase-of-use: few addition steps, fast assay development\u003cbr\u003e\nBroad range of affinities: detect strong or weak interactions, from pM to mM affinity\u003cbr\u003e\nDistance: measure very large protein or antibody complexes – spanning up to 200 nm or more\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh avidity: multiple binding sites on each bead enables use of nanomolar concentrations of antibodies or proteins, as well as use of low affinity binders\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in buffer, cell culture media, serum and plasma in a highly sensitive, quantitative, reproducible and user-friendly mode. In this AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated EGF binds to the Streptavidin-coated Alpha Donor beads, while EGFR-Fc is captured by Anti-Human IgG Fc-specific AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. When EGF is bound to EGFR, Donor beads and Acceptor beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfers in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nEpidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, Her1, ErbB1) is a 134 kDa cell surface receptor, part of a four member subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (erbB1, erbB2, erbB3, and erbB4). EGFR binds to a family of proteins called the epidermal growth factors (primarily EGF), which, upon association induces dimerization of the receptor and initiates signal transduction for the promotion of cell survival and growth. Mutations that cause aberrant overexpression of EGF and\/or EGFR have been linked with many different cancers such as non-small-cell lung and colon cancers. Drugs are being developed as a means to better treat these types cancer. \u003cbr\u003e\nApplication-Protein-Protein Interaction\u003cbr\u003e\nAutomation Compatible-Yes\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand-AlphaLISA\u003cbr\u003e\nDetection Modality-Alpha\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Group-Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nSample Volume-5 µL\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping Conditions-Shipped in Blue Ice\u003cbr\u003e\nTarget-EGF~EGFR\u003cbr\u003e\nTarget Class-Binding Assay\u003cbr\u003e\nTarget Species-Human\u003cbr\u003e\nTechnology-Alpha\u003cbr\u003e\nTherapeutic Area-Oncology\u003cbr\u003e\nUnit Size-5,000 assay points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revvity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46774531195049,"sku":"AL366F","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/revvity-al366f","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
