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.
Human FMS Related Tyrosine Kinase 1 (FLT1) also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the regulation of angiogenesis and vasculogensis. FLT1 plays a roles in cell migration, as well as promotes cell proliferation. It spans the cell membrane with a cytoplasmic transmembrane domain and an extracellular ligand binding region. With its role in cell proliferation, FLT1 is studied for its effect on cancer and tumor growth, specifically its link to metastasis.

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.
This manual explains how to run the AlphaLISA no-wash human FLT-1/VEGFR 1 detection assay.
