Revvity AlphaLISA Human & Mouse Fibronectin Detection Kit, 5,000 assay points

Fibronectin is a high-molecular weight glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix that binds to integrins, collagen, fibrin, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans. The fibronectin protein is produced from a single gene, but alternative splicing of its pre-mRNA leads to the creation of several isoforms. Fibronectin occurs in two main forms, plasma and cellular FN. Fibronectin plays a role in cell adhesion, growth, migration, and differentiation. Altered fibronectin expression, degradation, and organization is associated with numerous pathologies, including cancer, arthritis, and fibrosis.

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.
