IL-24 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Human

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Human IL-24 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).\n\nInterleukin 24 (IL-24) is a cytokine belonging to the IL-10 family of cytokines that signals through two heterodimeric receptors: IL-20R1/IL-20R2 and IL-22R1/IL-20R2. This interleukin is also known as Melanoma differentiation-associated 7 (mda-7) due to its discovery as a tumour suppressing protein. By radiation hybrid analysis, the MDA7 gene is mapped to 1q32.2-q41. IL-24 appears to control in cell survival and proliferation by inducing rapid activation of particular transcription factors called Stat-1 and Stat-3. Human IL24 was expressed as an approximately 35kD protein that was converted to a 23kD protein by deglycosylation. The IL24 protein shares 24 to 33% homology with other members of the IL10 family of cytokines, with highest homology with IL20. This cytokine is predominantly released by activated monocytes, macrophages and T helper 2 (Th2) cells and acts on non-haematopoietic tissues such as skin, lung and reproductive tissues. IL-24 performs important roles in wound healing, psoriasis and cancer. \n\nAssay Range:\n62.5pg/ml-4000pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n< 10 pg/ml\n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nQ13007\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n11009\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-IL-24, Human\nLyophilized recombinant IL-24, Human 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.
