Notch1:DLL4 [Biotinylated] Inhibitor Screening Chemiluminescence Assay Kit
The Notch1:DLL4 [Biotinylated] Inhibitor Screening Chemiluminescence Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling molecules that block the binding of Notch1 (neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1) and DLL4 (delta like canonical notch ligand 4). This kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough recombinant purified Notch1, biotin-labeled DLL4, streptavidin-labeled HRP, and assay buffer for 100 binding reactions. The key to this kit is the high sensitivity of detection of biotin-labeled DLL4 by streptavidin-HRP.
Figure 1: Illustration of the mechanism of Notch1:DLL4 [Biotinylated] Inhibitor Screening Chemiluminescence Assay Kit.
Notch1 is coated onto a 96-well plate. After blocking, the plate is pre-incubated with an inhibitor or neutralizing antibody. After incubation with Biotin-DLL4, the plate is washed and Streptavidin-HRP is added. After the ELISA ECL substrate is added the resulting signal can be measured using a chemiluminescence microplate reader. The chemiluminescence signal is proportional to the binding of Notch1 to DLL4.

The Notch (neurogenic locus notch homolog protein) signaling is evolutionally highly conserved and implicated in various aspects of cancer development and progression. Aberrant activation of Notch1 signaling, often through mutations or overexpression, is associated with several types of cancer, including leukemia, breast cancer, lung cancer, and others. DLL4 (delta like canonical notch ligand 4), as a ligand of Notch receptors, can also influence tumor angiogenesis, promoting the growth of blood vessels within tumors and facilitating tumor progression. As Notch1 and DLL4 signaling pathway plays significant roles in cancer development, several Notch1 and DLL4 neutralizing antibodies have been evaluated in preclinical studies and clinical trials across various cancer types.
