Analysis of Nectin-4 (Human) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1088-LGZ)

Introduction

Nectin-4 (Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4) is a cell adhesion molecule of the Nectin and Nectin-like families, which is highly expressed in normal embryonic and fetal tissues, but very low in healthy adult tissues. Nectin-4 is a type I membrane protein, and the extracellular region of dimeric Nectin-4 consists of three Ig domains of Ig V type and IgC type. The metalloprotease TACE/ADAM-17 degrades the ectodomain to produce soluble Nectin-4. This secreted form is found in patients with breast tumors. Nectin-4 is overexpressed in a variety of tumor cells, and can promote the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. Solid tumors that highly express Nectin-4 include bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancers.




Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.
