Kit contents scale proportionally with size, except sealing tape.
Example: The V1 kit contains 5X the listed quantities above, but will exclude the sealing tape.

For the “C” and “V” kits, the supplied 96-well strip plate consists of twelve 8-well strips in a support frame. This enables custom plate configurations.

Description

The rapid protocol (RP) PathScan^® RP Total TREM2 Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of TREM2 protein in a reduced assay time of 1.5 hours. Incubation of the cell lysate and detection antibody on the capture antibody-coated microwell plate forms a sandwich with TREM2 protein in a single step. The plate is then extensively washed, and TMB reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of TREM2 protein.

*Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to the kit.

Specificity/Sensitivity

PathScan^® RP Total TREM2 Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of TREM2 as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

Background

The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) protein is an innate immune receptor that is expressed on the cell surface of microglia, macrophages, osteoclasts, and immature dendritic cells (1). The TREM2 receptor is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that consists of an extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. TREM2 interacts with the tyrosine kinase-binding protein DAP12 to form a receptor-signaling complex (2). The TREM2 protein plays a role in innate immunity and a rare functional variant (R47H) of TREM2 is associated with the late-onset risk of Alzheimer’s disease (1,3). Research studies using mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease indicate that deficiency and haploinsufficiency of TREM2 can lead to increased β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation as a result of dysfunctional microglial response (4). These results agree with the distribution of TREM2 in human brain regions (e.g., white matter, the hippocampus, and neocortex) that are involved in Alzheimer's disease pathology (2). In addition, amyloid plaque formation induces expression of TREM2 and amyloid phagocytosis (5). Loss-of-function mutations in the corresponding TREM2 or DAP12 genes can result in Nasu-Hakola disease, a rare form of progressive presenile dementia that results from polycystic osseous lesions (6). TREM2 membrane shedding occurs by cleavage at the extracellular site between H157/S158, generating an N-terminal shedded fragment and a membrane bound C-terminal fragment (7,8).t
