The AlphaLISA™ immunoassay kit for human HLA-C enables the quantitative determination of human MHC class I antigen C (HLA-C) in buffered solution, cell culture media, and cell lysates using a homogeneous AlphaLISA assay (no wash steps).
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. All products to be used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations including without limitation, consumption & disposal requirements under European REACH regulations (EC 1907/2006).

Features:
AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in buffer, cell culture media, serum and plasma in a highly sensitive, quantitative, reproducible and user-friendly mode. In an AlphaLISA assay, a Biotinylated Anti-Analyte Antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Alpha Donor beads, while another Anti-Analyte Antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
HLA-C, also known as MHC class I antigen C, official full name as major histocompatibility complex, class I, C, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-C gene. HLA-C is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (β-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and anchored in the membrane. HLA-C has a very specialized role in cell recognition by natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-cell. HLA-C binds to killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors to regulate NK cell cytolysis activities. Recently, HLA-C has been involved in immune response to HIV-1. This kit has been designed for the detection of Human HLA-C in cell lysate and cell culture media.
