sICAM-1 ELISA Kit (Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1)

INTENDED USE

Human sICAM-1 ELISA kit is designed for analysing in vitro quantitative concentrations of soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM1, CD54, sICAM-1) in human  tissue homogenates, serum, plasma and other biological fluids and cell lysates. This assay has a minimum sensitivity limit of 0.469 ng/ml.

BACKGROUND

sICAM-1 mainly represents the circulating form which is usually found to be inducible or constitutively expressed on the cell surface many different cell lines. This molecule has been discovered as an important marker for acute respiratory tract infection and adhesion molecules which are responsible for mediating leukocyte-endothelial interactions.

sICAM-1 serum levels have also been identified to be elevated in insulin-dependent diabetis mellitus, allergic inflammation, anterior uveitis and acute renal graft rejection. They represent important biomarkers for a number of inflammatory responses that are responsible for damage or activation to cells such as endothelium and platelets. Many studies have postulated an increase production of these molecules on vascular endothelium (blood vessel lining) which could play a vital role in the development of arterial plaques.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level of soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1, CD54, sICAM1) using current sICAM-1 ELISA kit was 0.469 ng/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 0.781 – 50 ng/ml.

ASSAY CHARACTERISTICS

I am a first time user and found that your instruction manual was very easy to follow. The insulin ELISA assay performed well and I was happy with the results that were generated.

J. Thomas
Senior Technician / Addenbrooke’s Hospital

I carried out a pilot study comparing the performance of many ELISA assay's from different suppliers and found your kits to be one of the better performers. We observed good linearity and tight replicates.
