CD36 (SR-B3), BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Rat)

CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36) is an integral membrane protein found on the surface of many cell types in vertebrate animals and is also known as FAT, SCARB3, GP88, glycoprotein IV (gpIV) and glycoprotein IIIb (gpIIIb). The human CD36 is a member of a gene family of structurally related glycoproteins and functions as a receptor for collagen type I and thrombospondin. The use of a CD36 genomic probe has allowed the localization of the CD36 locus to the 7q11.2 band by fluorescence in situ hybridization coupled with GTG-banding. CED-1/SCARF1 and C03F11.3/CD36 are beta-glucan binding receptors and define an evolutionarily conserved pathway for the innate sensing of fungal pathogens. Sample Type: Cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA), Intended Use: For quantitative detection of rat CD36 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). Sensitivity: <10pg/ml, Range: 218-14,000pg/ml, Specificity: Natural and recombinant rat CD36, Test Principle: This rat CD36 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for CD36 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(CHO, G30-K439) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for CD36 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the rat CD36 amount of sample captured in plate.
