Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Mouse Semaphorin-7A (SEMA7A) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:SEMA7A is a membrane-bound semaphorin that associates with cell surfaces via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. SEMA7A is also known as the John-Milton-Hagen (JMH) blood group antigen, an 80-kD glycoprotein expressed on activated lymphocytes and erythrocytes. Czopik et al. (2006) found that T cells from immunized Sema7a -/- mice had increased proliferative responses to antigen that were not attributable to Sema7a deficiency on macrophages or dendritic cells. Sema7a -/- mice were prone to die at the onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and had higher clinical EAE scores compared with wildtype littermates. Delayed-type hypersensitivity responses were also enhanced in Sema7a -/- mice.
• Storage and shipping:All of the components are shipped on ice packs/blue ice. Upon receiving the kit keep it at +4 degrees Celsius for up to 1 year (refer to the label on the box for the exact expiration date).
• Notes:This kit is intended for research use only. It should not be used for human or animal clinical diagnostics or treatment.
