Assay Principle
This sandwich ELISA quantifies mouse C-X-C motif chemokine 9 (gene Cxcl9) in cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (EDTA). Strips are pre-coated with a capture antibody. After the sample is added, a biotinylated detection antibody binds the captured protein, and an avidin–biotin–peroxidase complex supplies the enzyme. TMB develops color in proportion to the bound target; the reaction is stopped and read at 450 nm, and concentrations are read from the standard curve.
CXCL9 (MIG) is an interferon-γ-inducible chemokine that binds CXCR3 and attracts activated T cells and NK cells. Together with CXCL10 and CXCL11, it directs effector lymphocytes to inflamed tissues and tumors, so it is widely measured in studies of Th1 immunity, autoimmunity, transplantation and cancer immunology.

Activating reagent preparation
Aliquot 0.1 ml per well of the 4,000 pg/ml, 2,000 pg/ml, 1,000 pg/ml, 500 pg/ml, 250 pg/ml, 125 pg/ml, 62.5 pg/ml mouse CXCL9 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 ml of each properly diluted sample of mouse cell culture supernatants, serum or plasma(EDTA) to each empty well. See “Sample Dilution Guideline” above for details. It is recommended that each mouse CXCL9 standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
