Background

TNFSF13 is a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), also designated TNFSF13, is a Type II membrane protein that shares characteristics with other members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family. APRIL is expressed in high levels in transformed cell lines and in human colon, thyroid, and lymphoid tumor tissues. APRIL is critically involved in the regulation of infections, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and tissue homeostasis. APRIL is implicated in the regulation of tumor cell growth. The C-terminal extracellular domain has b jelly roll topography and is important in ligand trimerization. The binding of the ligand to its respective receptor induces oligomerization, initiating downstream signaling events. Intrinsic to oligomerization is the formation of the receptor binding site at the junction between neighboring subunits, creating a multivalent ligand.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
