Rat M-CSF ELISA Kit (CSF1)

제품 세부 정보

Rat M-CSF ELISA Kit (CSF1) (ab253214) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of M-CSF (CSF1) protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Rat M-CSF (CSF1) with 6 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.

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 (M-CSF), also known as CSF1, is a secreted cytokine that plays an essential role in the regulation of differentiation and maintenance of hematopoietic precursor cells, especially mononuclear phagocytes, such as macrophages and monocytes. It plays an important role in innate immunity and in inflammatory processes where it acts to promote the release of proinflammatory chemokines. M-CSF also plays an important role in the regulation of osteoclast proliferation and differentiation, the regulation of bone resorption, and is required for normal bone development. Reports show that it is required for normal male and female fertility. It also acts in reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, regulates formation of membrane ruffles, cell adhesion and cell migration.
