The Collagen XI alpha1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Collagen XI alpha1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of Collagen XI alpha1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Collagen XI alpha1.
Qualitative determination of Collagen XI alpha1 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Collagen XI alpha1 is captured by Collagen XI alpha1-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | COL11A1: May play an important role in fibrillogenesis by controlling lateral growth of collagen II fibrils. Defects in COL11A1 are the cause of Stickler syndrome type 2 (STL2); also known as Stickler syndrome vitreous type 2. STL2 is an autosomal dominant form of Stickler syndrome, an inherited disorder that associates ocular signs with more or less complete forms of Pierre Robin sequence, bone disorders and sensorineural deafness. Ocular disorders may include juvenile cataract, myopia, strabismus, vitreoretinal or chorioretinal degeneration, retinal detachment, and chronic uveitis. Robin sequence includes an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), a large tongue (macroglossia), and a small lower jaw (micrognathia). Bones are affected by slight platyspondylisis and large, often defective epiphyses. Juvenile joint laxity is followed by early signs of arthrosis. The degree of hearing loss varies among affected individuals and may become more severe over time. Syndrome expressivity is variable. Defects in COL11A1 are the cause of Marshall syndrome (MRSHS). It is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by ocular abnormalities, deafness, craniofacial anomalies, and anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Clinical features include short stature; flat or retruded midface with short, depressed nose, flat nasal bridge and anteverted nares; cleft palate with or without the Pierre Robin sequence; appearance of large eyes with ocular hypertelorism; cataracts, either congenital or juvenile; esotropia; high myopia; sensorineural hearing loss; spondyloepiphyseal abnormalities; calcification of the falx cerebri; ectodermal abnormalities, including defects in sweating and dental structures. Defects in COL11A1 are the cause of fibrochondrogenesis type 1 (FBCG1). A severe short-limbed skeletal dysplasia characterized by broad long-bone metaphyses, pear-shaped vertebral bodies, and characteristic morphology of the growth plate, in which the chondrocytes have a fibroblastic appearance and there are regions of fibrous cartilage extracellular matrix. Clinical features include a flat midface with a small nose and anteverted nares, significant shortening of all limb segments but relatively normal hands and feet, and a small bell-shaped thorax with a protuberant abdomen. Belongs to the fibrillar collagen family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type XI collagen, a minor fibrillar collagen. Type XI collagen is a heterotrimer but the third alpha chain is a post-translationally modified alpha 1 type II chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II Stickler syndrome and with Marshall syndrome. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in this gene is also associated with susceptibility to lumbar disc herniation. Multiple transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

| Step | Procedure |
| 1. | Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells. |
| 2. | Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2. |
| 3. | Treat the cells as desired. |
| 4. | Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice. |
| 5. | Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells. |
| 6. | Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week. |
