Product Summary for Mouse TIM-1/KIM-1/HAVCR Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse TIM-1 Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse TIM-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse TIM-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant factor accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse TIM-1 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse TIM-1.

Measurement

Quantitative ELISA

Detection Method

Colorimetric - 450nm (TMB)

HRP

Reactivity

Mouse

Specificity

Natural and recombinant mouse TIM-1. The antibody components of this kit were raised against the short splice form of mouse TIM-1 (isoform 2) which has a 23 amino acid deletion following Pro182. This immunoassay detects both the short and long forms of mouse TIM-1.

Cross-reactivity

< 0.5% cross-reactivity observed with available related molecules. < 50% cross-species reactivity observed with species tested.

Interference

No significant interference observed with available related molecules.

Sample Values

Serum/Plasma/Urine - Samples were evaluated for the presence of mouse TIM-1 in this assay

Serum samples from two Balb/c strain mice were evaluated in this assay and measured 27.5 pg/mL and 26.9 pg/mL. Additionally, serum samples from two C57 strain mice were evaluated in this assay and measured 20.4 pg/mL and 14.4 pg/mL. 

Urine samples from two Balb/c strain mice and one C57 strain mouse were evaluated in this assay and measured 143,000 pg/mL, 159,000 pg/mL, and 726 pg/mL respectively.

Cell Culture Supernates - Kidneys from mice were removed, rinsed in 1X PBS, and kept on ice in 1X PBS. Kidneys were then homogenized using a tissue homogenizer and seeded into media containing RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 mg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were cultured for the times indicated. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for levels of mouse TIM-1.

Background: TIM-1/KIM-1/HAVCR

TIM-1 (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1), also known as KIM-1 and HAVcr1, is expressed on many immune cell types and epithelial cells. It binds to phosphatidylserine (PS), LMIR5/CD300b, TIM-1 (homophilic), TIM-4, IgA, and the glycoproteins of a number of enveloped viruses. Its interaction with PS enables TIM-1 to mediate the phagocytosis and clearance of apoptotic cells. TIM-1 signaling costimulates T cell activation and enhances Th2 cytokine production. TIM-1 serves as a cellular entry receptor for hepatitis A virus, Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus. Polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to atopy, autoimmunity, and severe hepatitis A virus infection in humans. A soluble form of TIM-1 is elevated in the urine during nephropathy.
