Assay Background
TRAIL, TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, also designated as Apo-2 ligand (Apo-2L) and CD253. TRAIL is a 281-amino acid protein, related most closely to Fas/Apo-1 ligand. It is expressed at cell surface as a transmembrane protein with an extracellular region and a homotrimeric subunit structure and also exists as a soluble form
TRAIL interacts with several receptors: two pro-apoptotic death receptors DR4 (TRAIL R1) and DR5 (TRAIL R2) and three anti-apoptotic decoy receptors DcR1 (TRAIL R3), DcR2 (TRAIL R4) and osteoprotegrin (OPG). Soluble TRAIL induces apoptosis through these death receptors in many transformed cells (lymphoid as well as non-lymphoid tumor cell lines).
Because of its role in apoptosis and its stable trimer, TRAIL was described as a potential tumor-specific cancer therapeutic.
Storage Instructions
Store the TRAIL ELISA Assay kit reagents between 2 and 8°C. Immediately after use remaining reagents should be returned to cold storage (2-8°C). Expiry of the kit and reagents is stated on box front labels. The expiry of the TRAIL ELISA Assay kit components can only be guaranteed if the components are stored properly, and if, in case of repeated use of one component, the reagent is not contaminated by the first handling.
