Assay Principle
This sandwich ELISA quantifies human tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (gene TNFRSF17) in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). Strips are pre-coated with a capture antibody. After the sample is added, a biotinylated detection antibody binds the captured protein, and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex supplies the enzyme. TMB develops color in proportion to the bound target; the reaction is stopped and read at 450 nm, and concentrations are read from the standard curve.
BCMA (TNFRSF17) is a receptor for the cytokines APRIL and BAFF expressed mainly on plasma cells and mature B cells. Its signaling through NF-κB and JNK supports the survival of long-lived plasma cells. BCMA is highly expressed on multiple myeloma cells and is a major target in myeloma research.
