General description

Avanti Lipid Snoopers comprise lipid spotted on solid support and are stable and aid highly sensitive semi-quantitative measurements for lipid detection. Ganglioside GM3 (monosialodihexosylganglioside) are glycosphingolipids (GSLs) which are membrane-bound comprising of a sialic acid residue and an oligosaccharide head structure. It is present in milk and in kidney cells.
ELISA Snoopers are 8-well strips pre-coated with a single high-quality lipid species. They can be used to investigate protein-lipid interactions, and characterize and titrate lipid binding proteins. This format provides the following advantages:
  • quantitative lipid-protein binding studies
  • assemble a 96-well plate using only the lipids of interest for binding studies
  • flexibility - use 8 to 96 wells, and 1 to 12 lipids as needed.

The 8-well strips are available in optically clear, white, or black surfaces for use in colormetric, luminescent and fluorescent assays, respectively. Avanti Lipid Snoopers ELISA Strips allow multiple sample conditions to be probed simultaneously in a single plate making them a perfect complement to Avanti Lipid Snoopers Nitrocellulose Strips.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Low levels of ganglioside GM3 is implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. It modulates immunological functions by inhibiting cytokine production. High GM3 levels are also correlated to the nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy. Avanti Lipid Snoopers aid in probing protein–lipid interaction by chemiluminescent detection method. Snoopers strips are useful in characterizing lipid-binding antibodies and decoding cell signalling pathways.
