  • Product overview

    The MICA ELISA is to be used for the in-vitro quantitative determination of MHC class I chain-related gene A glycoprotein, in supernatant,

    buffered solutions, or serum and plasma samples*. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic

    procedures.

    Note: For serum and plasma quandification: high detection level is found in human serum and plasma samples. The high signal appears could be the result of the matrix and/or interaction with other molecules. Consequently serum and plasma quantification is under the scientist responsability.

    Principle

    The MICA Kit is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA). A monoclonal antibody specific for MICA has been coated onto the wells of the microtiter strips provided. Samples, including standards of known MICA concentrations and unknown are pipetted into these wells.

    During the first incubation, the MICA antigen is added to wells. After washing, a biotinylated monoclonal antibody specific for MICA is

    incubated. Then the enzyme (streptavidin-horse radish peroxydase) is added. After incubation and washing to remove all unbound enzyme, a

    substrate solution of the bound enzyme is added to induce a coloured reaction product. The intensity of this coloured product is directly

    proportional to the concentration of MICA present in the samples.

     

    Range: 156 pg/ml - 5000 pg/ml
    Sensitivity: <123 pg/ml

Properties

  • RelevanceThe MHC class I chain-related (MIC) proteins are related to the Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I proteins which are ubiquitously expressed and mediate the recognition of intracellular antigens by cytotoxic T cells. The MHC class I chain-related (MIC) proteins are recognized by NKG2D, a receptor on NK and T cells, and promote anti-tumor activity. MICA, a member of the MIC family, is widely expressed on many tumors, and it is the MICA/NKG2D interaction that is thought to stimulate the anti-tumor reactivity by T lymphocytes. MICA is present in virtually every tissue except the nervous system, suggesting that MIC protein expression may only be one component of the anti-tumor activity of the immune system.
