IL-8 ELISA Kit

Storage Instruction:Store the kit at 4°C.
Description:
Interleukin-8 is a member of the Chemokine alpha superfamily of proteins, which contains at least 14 structurally related cytokines. These cytokines exhibit 20-45% homology, are all basic heparin binding proteins and act on various inflammatory cell types. IL-8 binds to specific cell surface receptors causing a rapid rise in cytosolic Ca++ concentration. Apparent biological effects include neutrophil infiltration, T cell infiltration, angiogenesis, synovial inflammation and plasma leakage.
The Thermo Scientific Pierce Human Interleukin-8 (IL-8) ELISA Kit is a colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantification of human IL-8 in serum, plasma (EDTA, heparin, sodium citrate), and culture supernatant samples. The kit features a user-friendly procedure, short assay time, and small sample size – ideal for researchers working with pediatric samples or 96-well cell culture experiments.
