IL-1 alpha BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Rat

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Rat IL-1 alpha in cell culture supernates and serum.\n\nInterleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) are two biochemically distinct, but distantly related, polypeptidic cytokines that play a key role in inflammation, immunologic reactions, and tissue repair.1 IL-1 alpha has been implicated in the pathogenesis of infectious, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.2 Recently, it has been shown that IL-1 alpha is identical to hematopoietin 1, which is described as a hematopoietic growth factor acting on early progenitor cells in synergy with other hematopoietic growth factors.1 The human interleukin 1 alpha gene is assigned to chromosome 2.3 Genetic polymorphisms at interleukin (IL)-1alpha and IL-1beta have been recently suggested to be associated with severity of adult periodontitis.4 The murine IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta genes encode structurally and evolutionarily related cytokines that exert a regulatory role in numerous physiological processes including hemopoiesis.5 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant rat IL-1a with the molecular mass of 18kD.\n\nAssay Range:\n4.69pg/ml-300pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n< 0.5 pg/ml\n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nP16598\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n24493\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-IL-1 alpha, Rat\nLyophilized recombinant IL-1 alpha, Rat 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.
