Mouse Qa lymphocyte antigen 2 region (Qa-2) ELISA Kit | KTE71541 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Mouse Qa lymphocyte antigen 2 region (Qa-2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate Qa-2 in samples. An antibody specific for Qa-2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyQa-2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for Qa-2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Qa-2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Conjugate: N/A

Sample Type: Cell culture supernatants#Serum#Plasma#Other biological fluids

Usage Note: • Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.
• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Background: Qa-2 is the murine homolog of HLA-G; it has structure and functions similar to those of HLA-G. We investigated the dynamic expression of Qa-2 in skin allografts by immunohistochemistry and on peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry during the entire process of acute graft rejection (AGR) with a murine skin transplantation model to determine its relationship with the pathological changes of allografts and the influence of immunosuppressive therapy. In grafts without immunosuppressive treatment, Qa-2 did not exhibit obvious changes in syngeneic and allogeneic recipients. In contrast, with immunosuppressant-treated grafts, positive expression of Qa-2 was observed. It remained at high levels in the immunosuppressant-treated syngeneic group; however, it became weakly positive and even negative in infiltrating inflammatory cells as AGR advanced, but it remained strongly positive in other skin tissues throughout the AGR process. Qa-2 expression on CD4 (+) and CD8 (+) peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets remained stable at a normal level in the non-immunosuppressant-treated syngeneic group. Immunosuppressive treatment can also significantly upregulate Qa-2.
