The Human MICB ELISA quantitates Hu MICB in human serum, plasma, or cell culture medium. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant Hu MICb.
Principle of the method
The Human MICB solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.
Rigorous validation
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.
MICB encodes the highly polymorphic MHC (HLA) class I chain-related gene B. The protein product is expressed on the cell surface. It is thought that MICB functions as a stress-induced antigen that is broadly recognized by intestinal epithelial gamma delta T cells. MICB is broadly recognized by NK cells and T cells with NKG2D receptor on their surface. The complex NKG2D-MICB results in MICB expressing cytolytic T cells and NK cells against epithelial tumor cells.
