Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Mouse Peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Innate nonself immune recognition relies on structures common among invading microbes, a process termed pattern recognition. Peptidoglycan is a fundamental component of the bacterial cell wall and is thus a candidate for a pattern recognized by the immune system. The deduced human PGLYRP protein has 196 amino acids. Both the human and mouse PGLYRP proteins share 43% sequence identity with the T. ni PGLYRP protein. Recombinant mouse Pglyrp protein expressed in insect cells possessed an affinity for peptidoglycan. Dot blot analysis of a number of human tissue mRNAs detected strong expression in bone marrow and weak expression in lung, kidney, liver, small intestine, spleen, thymus, peripheral leukocyte, and fetal spleen.
