Assay Principle
This EZ-Set™ kit supplies a matched capture and detection antibody pair and a standard for building your own sandwich ELISA for mouse CD5 antigen-like (gene Cd5l) in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). You coat the plate with the capture antibody, add samples and standards, detect with the biotinylated antibody and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex, develop with TMB and read at 450 nm. Plates, diluents, wash buffer, TMB and stop solution are not included.
CD5L (also called AIM or Spα) is a secreted protein made mainly by tissue macrophages that circulates bound to IgM. It supports macrophage survival, binds microbes and dead cells, and regulates lipid storage in adipocytes, and it is studied in inflammation, obesity and liver disease.
