Assay Principle
This sandwich ELISA quantifies rat growth-regulated alpha protein (gene Cxcl1) in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (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.
CXCL1 (GRO-α, KC in mouse) is a CXC chemokine that attracts and activates neutrophils through the CXCR2 receptor. It is produced by macrophages, endothelial cells and epithelial cells during inflammation and infection, and it is widely measured in studies of acute inflammation, tissue injury and tumor-associated neutrophil recruitment.
