Sandwich ELISA - Human Tenascin C ELISA Kit (AB277081)

Interpolated concentrations of native Tenascin C in human serum and plasma samples.

The concentrations of Tenascin C were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Tenascin C standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : serum 10%, plasma (citrate) 10%, plasma (EDTA) 10%, and plasma (heparin) 10%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Tenascin C concentration was determined to be 153.25 ng/mL in serum, 113.37 ng/mL in plasma (citrate), 108.74 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), and 101.20 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).

Product details

Human Tenascin C ELISA kit (ab277081) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Tenascin C protein in human serum and plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Tenascin C with 27.67 pg/mL sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Tenascin C (TNC), is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein involved in tissue morphogenesis like embryogenesis, wound healing and tumorigenesis. Tenascin C is implicated in guidance of migrating neurons and axons during development, synaptic plasticity and neuronal regeneration. Tenascin C also as a role in neurite outgrowth from cortical neurons grown on a monolayer of astrocytes. In tumors, Tenascin C stimulates angiogenesis by elongation, migration and sprouting of endothelial cell. Tenascin C shares 69.0%, 70.6%, 72.0%, and 97.3% sequence homology with mouse, rat, bovine, and monkey, respectively.

Tenascin C also known as hexabrachion is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 220-300 kDa depending on post-translational modifications. It shows high expression in areas undergoing tissue remodeling such as embryonic tissues wounds and tumors. It consists of repeating structural elements including epidermal growth factor-like repeats and fibronectin type III domains which facilitate its function in the context of tissue dynamics.
Biological function summary

The large hexamer known as Tenascin C plays a significant role in modulating cell adhesion migration and proliferation especially during developmental processes and injury responses. It incorporates into the existing extracellular matrix as a loose network which provides elasticity and supports cellular activities. This feature allows Tenascin C to interact with other matrix molecules and cell surface receptors to regulate tissue morphogenesis.

Pathways

Tenascin C actively participates in the Wnt and TGF-beta signaling pathways important for controlling cellular behavior in development and regeneration. It associates with integrins and glycoproteins to influence cell responses to signaling events in these pathways. By modulating these interactions Tenascin C can impact processes such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis affecting tissue architecture and function.

Tenascin C exhibits a strong connection to cancer progression and chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Its levels rise in tumors and inflamed tissues where it interacts with other matrix components and cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6). These interactions contribute to a microenvironment that promotes tumor growth and persistence of inflammation highlighting its role in the pathophysiology of these diseases.
