Mouse TNFRSF14 ELISA Kit (HVEM)

Product details

The Mouse TNFRSF14 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (HVEM) (ab213892) is designed for the quantitative detection of Mouse TNFRSF14 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).

The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for TNFRSF14/HVEM has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard: CHO; Immunogen sequence: Q29-V207) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TNFRSF14/HVEM is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Mouse TNFRSF14/HVEM amount of sample captured in plate.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 14 (TNFRSF14), also known as HVEM, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF14 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. It is mapped to 1p36.32. HVEM plays an important role in HSV pathogenesis because it enhanced the entry of several wildtype HSV strains of both serotypes into CHO cells, and mediated HSV entry into activated human T cells. HVEM and BTLA which form a bidirectional signaling pathway can regulate cell survival and inhibitory responses between interacting cells. HVEM as an important orchestrator of mucosal immunity integrates signals from innate lymphocytes to induce optimal epithelial Stat3 activation, which indicated that targeting HVEM with agonists could improve host defense.
