Assay Principle
This EZ-Set™ kit supplies a matched capture and detection antibody pair and a standard for building your own sandwich ELISA for human interleukin-8 (gene CXCL8) in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate). You coat the plate with the capture antibody, add samples and standards, detect with the biotinylated antibody and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex, develop with TMB and read at 450 nm. Plates, diluents, wash buffer, TMB and stop solution are not included.
Interleukin-8 (IL-8, CXCL8) is a CXC chemokine released by macrophages, epithelial and endothelial cells in response to inflammatory signals. Through the receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 it attracts and activates neutrophils and supports angiogenesis. IL-8 is one of the most commonly measured inflammatory cytokines in infection, inflammation and cancer research. Rodents lack a direct ortholog.
