LANCE Ultra Human CXCL10 Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

The LANCE® Ultra Human CXCL10 (IP-10) Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of human CXCL10 in cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay.

• No-wash steps, no separation steps
• TR-FRET technology
• Sensitive detection
• High reproducibility
• Faster time-to-results
• Easy automation
• 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well formats

LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One antibody of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore (ULight™ dye). Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.

C-X-C Motif Chemokine 10 (CXCL10), also known as 10 kDa Interferon-gamma-Induced Protein (IP-10), is a 77 amino acid protein secreted by several cell types in response to IFN-γ. These cell types include monocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. CXCL10 has been attributed several roles such as chemoattraction for monocytes, T cells, and dendritic cells. Other activities include promotion of T cell adhesion to endothelial cells, antitumor activity, and inhibition of bone marrow colony formation. It has been suggested that CXCL10 may play an important role in delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Increased levels of CXCL10 are found in psoriatic plaques characterized by the infiltration of neutrophils, but it does not activate neutrophils. It was reported that CXCL10 also possesses antimicrobial activity. Recent data suggest that CXCL10 could bind to toll-like receptor 4 and may contribute to beta cell failure in diabetes.
