Product overview
Human TREM2 ELISA Kit (ab224881) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TREM2 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture media, cerebral spinal fluid, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human TREM2 with 10.5 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.
ASSAY SPECIFICITY This kit recognizes both native and recombinant Human TREM2 protein in serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and cell culture supernatant, cell and tissue extract samples only.
SPECIES REACTIVITY This kit recognizes Human TREM2 protein.
Other species reactivity was determined by measuring 25% serum samples of various species, interpolating the protein concentrations from the Human standard curve, and expressing the interpolated concentrations as a percentage of the protein concentration in Human serum assayed at the same dilution.
Reactivity < 3% was determined for the following species: Mouse, Rat and cow. -
Notes
TREM2 is immune receptor expressed on the surface of microglia. TREM2 is proteolytically process by ADAM proteases and the soluble TREM2 is released into the extra cellular space. Elevated levels of soluble TREM2 in cerebrospinal fluid is a biomarker associated with increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Ab224881 TREM2 SimpleStep ELISA® is designed against the extracellular portion of TREM2.

Function
May have a role in chronic inflammations and may stimulate production of constitutive rather than inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Forms a receptor signaling complex with TYROBP and triggers activation of the immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells but not on granulocytes or monocytes. In the CNS strongest expression seen in the basal ganglia, corpus callosum, medulla oblongata and spinal cord. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in TREM2 are a cause of polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLOSL) [MIM:221770]; also known as presenile dementia with bone cysts or Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD). PLOSL is a recessively inherited disease characterized by a combination of psychotic symptoms rapidly progressing to presenile dementia and bone cysts restricted to wrists and ankles. PLOSL has a global distribution, although most of the patients have been diagnosed in Finland and Japan, with an estimated population prevalence of 2x10(-6) in the Finns. -

Interpolated concentrations of native TREM2 in Human serum and plasma samples.The concentrations of TREM2 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the TREM2 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 12.5%, plasma (EDTA) 12.5%, plasma (heparin) 12.5%, and plasma (citrate) 25%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean TREM2 concentration was determined to be 23.8 ng/mL in serum, 19.0 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), 25.3ng/mL in plasma (heparin) and 16.5 ng/mL in plasma (citrate).
