P-selectin is the largest of the known selectins at 140kDa. It contains nine consensus repeats (CR) and extends approximately 40 nm from the endothelial surface. P-selectin is expressed in a-granules of activated platelets and granules of endothelial cells. Within minutes of stimulation of the endothelial cells by inflammatory mediators such as histamine, thrombin, or phorbol esters, P-selectin is surface-expressed. Expression of P-selectin also occurs from the surgical trauma endured during preparation of the tissues for intravital microscopy. The expression is short-lived, reaching its peak after only ten minutes. Additional synthesis of P-selectin is brought about within two hours by cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a).

Human P-Selectin (SELP) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SELP in samples. An antibody specific for SELP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySELP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SELP is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SELP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
