Granzyme B is a serine protease released by cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells. As one of five human granzymes (A, B, G, H, and K), this 32 kD protein encoded by the GZMB gene plays a critical role in the immune system's defense against virus-infected and malignantly transformed host cells.
The perforin/granzyme pathway functions as a molecular weapon in cellmediated immunity, working together to induce target cell DNA fragmentation and apoptosis. Elevated Granzyme B, the most potent proapoptotic member of its family, correlates with numerous pathologies and serves as a diagnostic marker for viral infections, lymphomas, carcinomas, autoimmune diseases, and transplant rejection.
BioLegend’s ELISpot MAX™ Deluxe Set includes pre-optimized essential reagents, along with additional buffers and solutions, for conducting an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Spot (ELISpot) assay. This kit is specifically designed to detect human Granzyme B secreting cells. An antibody specific to human Granzyme B is coated onto an ethanol-activated 96-well PVDF membrane plate as the capture. Stimulated and/or unstimulated cells are pipetted directly into the wells. The plate is incubated at 37°C for a designated period, during which the capture antibody binds to Granzyme B from the secreting cells in the vicinity. After incubation, the cells are removed, and a biotinylated anti-human Granzyme B detection antibody is added, followed by avidin-HRP. Next, the TMB membrane substrate is added. The TMB substrate reacts with HRP to form a blue-black precipitate at the sites where Granzyme B is present. The result is the appearance of visible spots on the membrane surface, representing the footprints of individual Granzyme B secreting cells.
