E-selectin (SELE) is a cell adhesion molecule primarily expressed on activated endothelial cells in response to inflammatory stimuli such as cytokines and bacterial endotoxins. This glycoprotein plays an important role in the initial steps of leukocyte recruitment during inflammation by mediating the rolling and tethering of neutrophils, monocytes, and certain T-cell subsets along the vascular endothelium. E-selectin expression is rapidly upregulated during acute inflammatory responses. It serves as an important biomarker for endothelial activation and vascular inflammation in various pathological conditions.
The Human E-Selectin ELISA kit (CSB-E04540h) is a quantitative sandwich immunoassay designed for measuring selectin E levels in human serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. The assay offers a detection range of 0.312 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL with a sensitivity of 0.078 ng/mL. The protocol requires 50-100 μL sample volume and can be completed within 1-5 hours, with optical density measurements taken at 450 nm wavelength.
