Features:
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-?. 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.
AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated 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 causes 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.

The introduction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the early 1970’s offered researchers a non-radiometric immunoassay platform without compromising sensitivity. Over the last 50 years scientists have made huge strides in disease research and drug discovery and a demand for greater assay throughput and sensitivity has evolved. In response, more robust immunoassays have been developed to address some of the limitations of the standard, colorimetric ELISA.
Find out about the most common limitations of traditional ELISAs and how different ELISA alternative technologies address these limitations.
The AlphaLISA® assay is a homogeneous immunoassay alternative to classical ELISA. AlphaLISA assays were originally utilized to detect analytesin cell cultures upernatants or serum/plasma samples.
