Revvity Alphalisa Human And Mouse Cxcl12 Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

CXCL12 (SDF-1) is a homeostatic chemokine constitutively expressed by bone marrow stromal cells and is present in many other tissues (skin, thymus, lymph nodes, lung, liver). It plays an essential role in homeostatic regulation of leukocyte traffic, hematopoiesis, organogenesis, cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. CXCL12 binds to and activates the CXCR4 receptor. CXCL12 and CXCR4 are overexpressed in various cancer types, and this aberrant expression strongly promotes proliferation, migration and invasion through multiple signal pathways.

AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Donor beads while another anti-analyte antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
