IFN gamma BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Mouse

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Mouse IFN gamma in cell culture supernates and serum.\n\nInterferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is an inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the development of fibrosis in inflamed tissues. The production of IFN-gamma, which is under genetic control, can influence the development of fibrosis in lung allografts.1 IFN-gamma is also produced by natural killer (NK) cells and most prominently by CD8 cytotoxic T cells, and is vital for the control of microbial pathogens.2 Interferon gamma is believed to be crucial for host defence against many infections. Genetically determined variability in IFN-gamma and expression might be important for the development of tuberculosis.3 IFN-gamma activates human macrophage oxidative metabolism and antimicrobial activity.4 In addition to having antiviral activity, IFN-gamma has important immunoregulatory functions. IFN-gamma plays an important role in the control of neointima proliferation.5 \n\nAssay Range:\n31.2pg/ml-2000pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n< 5 pg/ml\n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nP01580\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n15978\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-IFN gamma, Mouse\nLyophilized recombinant IFN gamma, Mouse standard, 10ng/tube, 2Ea\nUSB Cat No Kit Component\n143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)\n143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml\n143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml\n143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml\n143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml\n143701 TMB stop solution, 10ml\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at 4 degrees C for 6 months, at -20 degrees C for 12 months.
