The Ca2+ storage protein calreticulin is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and shares a high degree of amino acid homology with the surface receptor C1q-R. In this study, flow cytometric analysis detected calreticulin on the neutrophil surface, which decreased during stimulation probably as a consequence of shedding, as calreticulin was found by ELISA in the cell supernatants of stimulated cells. Antibodies raised against C1q-R and calreticulin demonstrated a high degree of immunological cross-reactivity for purified calreticulin as determined by dot blot analysis. Western blots of neutrophil subcellular fractions located calreticulin in both the cytosol and cell membrane fractions; C1q-R was largely confined to the cell membrane. Calreticulin and C1q-R both bind to C1q and mannan-binding protein. Therefore, calreticulin may be shed on cell activation and may be associated with the cell membrane, where it can potentially interact with C1q and serum lectins. The implications of this are discussed.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
