Description générale

Introduction

Cell adhesion plays a major role in cellular communication and regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. A family of cell surface receptors, the integrins, mediates cell attachment to proteins of the extracellular matrix. Integrins are heterodimer molecules containing an alpha and beta transmembrane glycoprotein subunit that are non-covalently bound together (1-2). Historically, antibodies have been used to determine the integrin profiles of cells by immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, and flow cytometry. These methods are time-consuming, laborious or require sophisticated equipment.

The CHEMICON® Alpha Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Array kit is designed as a cost effective, efficient method for identification of cell surface integrins. The kit format uses 12 x 8-well removable strips in a plate frame for convenience and flexibility in designing assays. The Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Array can be completed within 1-2 hours, providing a rapid, quantitative assay for the characterization of alpha integrin surface expression.

In addition, Chemicon continues to provide numerous migration, invasion, and adhesion products including:

· QCM 8μm 96-well Chemotaxis Cell Migration Assay (ECM510)

· QCM 5μm 96-well Chemotaxis Cell Migration Assay (ECM512)

· QCM 3μm 96-well Chemotaxis Cell Migration Assay (ECM515)

· QCM 96-well Cell Invasion Assay (ECM555)

· 24-well Insert Cell Migration and Invasion Assay Systems

· CytoMatrix Cell Adhesion strips (ECM protein coated)

· QuantiMatrix ECM protein ELISA kits



Test Principle

The CHEMICON Alpha Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Array uses mouse monoclonal antibodies generated against human alpha integrins/subunits (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alphaV, and alphavbeta3), that are immobilized onto a goat anti-mouse antibody coated microtiter plate. The plate is then used to capture cells expressing these integrins on their cell surface; goat anti-mouse antibody coated wells are provided as a negative assay control. Each strip (8 wells total) consists of 7 integrin antibody coated wells and one negative control well (see plate layout on page 3). Experimental cells are seeded onto the coated substrate and incubated. Subsequently, unbound cells are washed away, and adherent cells are fixed and stained. Relative cell attachment is determined using absorbance readings.

Application

Research Category
Cell Structure
The CHEMICON® Alpha Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Array Kit can be used for assessing the presence or absence of specific integrins on the cell surface. This assay can substitute for FACS analysis (3) and is useful for screening human adherent cells for cell surface integrins or for monitoring in vitro cell differentiation or genetic modification of cells.

Composants

Alpha Integrin Array Plate: (PN: 90599) One 96-well plate with 12 strips. Each strip contains one well each of the mouse anti-alpha integrin monoclonal antibodies: (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alphaV, alphavbeta3), and one goat anti-mouse negative well. See the plate layout on product insert.

Cell Stain Solution: (Part No. 90144) One 20 mL bottle.

Extraction Buffer: (Part No. 90145) One 20 mL bottle.

Assay Buffer: (Part No. 90601) One 100 mL bottle.

Stockage et stabilité

The experimental and control plates can be stored at 2° to 8°C in the foil pouch up to their expiration. Unused strips may be placed back in the pouch for storage. Ensure that the desiccant remains in the pouch, and that the pouch is securely closed.

Precautions

· Cell stain contains minor amounts of crystal violet, a toxic substance, which may cause cancer and heritable genetic damage. Handle with caution. Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

· Extraction buffer contains alcohol. Avoid internal consumption.

Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) is a widely expressed protein that binds to ubiquitylated proteins, has deubiquitylating activity in vitro and is thought to modulate substrate degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Expansion of a polyglutamine tract in ATXN3 causes Machado-Joseph disease, a late-onset
