FY-EM4634 Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18) ELISA Kit

IL-18(Interleukin 18) Basic information

Interleukin-18 (IL18, also known as interferon-gamma inducing factor) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the IL18 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine. Many cell types, both hematopoietic cells and non-hematopoietic cells, have the potential to produce IL-18. It was first described in 1989 as a factor that induced interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production in mouse spleen cells. Originally, IL-18 production was recognized in Kupffer cells, liver-resident macrophages. However, IL-18 is constitutively expressed in non-hematopoietic cells, such as intestinal epithelial cells, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells. IL-18 can modulate both innate and adaptive immunity and its dysregulation can cause autoimmune or inflammatory diseases.

Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18) ELISA Kit test method

Feiyue’s Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18)  is an ELISA reagent for detection of IL-18(Interleukin 18) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

This kit uses sandwich ELISA to detect the concentration of Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18). Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18)-specific monoclonal antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Standards samples and controls are added to interact with the immobilized antibody. A sandwich complex is formed by additional anti-Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18) antibody with HRP-Streptavidin. TMB solution is added to react with the sandwich for ming optical signal measured by microplate reader. The concentration of Mouse IL-18(Interleukin 18) in the sample can be calculated by comparing the absorbance of the sample with the standard curve.
