Invitrogen™ Human IL-18 ProQuantum Immunoassay Kit

Descrizione

Utilizing proximity-based amplification technology, the assay combines the analyte specificity of high-affinity antibody-antigen binding with the signal detection and amplification capabilities of real-time PCR to achieve a simple yet powerful next-generation protein quantitation platform. A user-friendly workflow combined with intuitive software for analytics enables sample-to-answer in just 2 hours.

• High sensitivity-detect low levels of protein with greater sensitivity than traditional methods
• Broad dynamic range-≥5 logarithmic units, minimizing sample dilutions to ensure they fall within the range
• Small sample consumption-use 2–5 μL of sample (compared to 75 μL for triplicate wells with other methods)
• Fast, easy workflow-2 hours from sample to answer, with no wash steps
• No proprietary instrument to purchase-runs on any real-time PCR instrument

The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity.
