Product overview
Human VCAM1 ELISA Kit (ab223591) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of VCAM1 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human VCAM1 with 37 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that facilitates the adhesion of lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes and basophils to vascular endothelium. VCAM1 is primarily expressed by endothelial cells, but smooth muscle cells, macrophages, oocytes, Sertoli cells, and activated neurons are all known expressers. VCAM1 expression is stimulated by cytokines, including TNF- a and IL-1, and alternatively spliced forms of the protein are known to occur. VCAM1 may be involved in cardiovascular development, atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Research areas
-
Function
Important in cell-cell recognition. Appears to function in leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Interacts with the beta-1 integrin VLA4 on leukocytes, and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The VCAM1/VLA4 interaction may play a pathophysiologic role both in immune responses and in leukocyte emigration to sites of inflammation. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed on inflammed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflammed tissue. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 7 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. -
Domain
Either the first or the fourth Ig-like C2-type domain is required for VLA4-dependent cell adhesion. -

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Interpolated concentrations of native VCAM1 in human serum and plasma, and interpolated concentrations of spiked VCAM1 in cell culture supernatant samples
The concentrations of VCAM1 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the VCAM1 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 2.5%, plasma (citrate) 2.5%, plasma (EDTA) 2.5%, plasma (heparin) 2.5%, and RPMI media 20%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean VCAM1 concentration was determined to be 1196 ng/mL in neat serum, 1092 ng/mL in neat plasma (citrate), 1275 ng/mL in neat plasma (EDTA), and 976 ng/mL in neat plasma (heparin).

Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean VCAM1 concentration was determined to be 1007 ng/mL with a range of 690 – 1501 ng/mL.
