Nori Sheep IL-8 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of IL-8 in sheep. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for IL-8 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-8 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for IL-8 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL-8 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.
Alternative names for IL-8: Interleukin 8, CXCL8, neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF), neutrophil activating protein (NAP), monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF), T lymphocyte chemotactic factor (TCF), granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCP) and leukocyte adhesion inhibitor (LAI)

Background:
IL-8 was renamed CXCL8 by the Chemokine Nomenclature Subcommittee of the International Union of Immunological Societies (1), although its approved HUGO gene symbol remains IL8. CXCL8 was also referred to as neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF), neutrophil activating protein (NAP), monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF), T lymphocyte chemotactic factor (TCF), granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCP) and leukocyte adhesion inhibitor (LAI). Many cell types, including monocyte/macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, hepatocytes, chondrocytes, and various tumor cell lines, can produce CXCL8 in response to a wide variety of proinflammatory stimuli such as exposure to IL1, TNF, LPS, and viruses. CXCL8 is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils. In addition, CXCL8 also has a wide range of other proinflammatory effects. CXCL 8 is also a potent angiogenic factor. CXCL8 causes degranulation of neutrophil specific granules and azurophilic granules. CXCL8 induces expression of the cell adhesion molecules CD11/CD18 and enhances the adherence of neutrophils to endothelial cells and subendothelial matrix proteins. Besides neutrophils, CXCL8 is also chemotactic for basophils, T cells and eosinophils. CXCL8 has been reported to be a comitogen for keratinocytes and was also shown to be an autocrine growth factor for melanoma cells. It is a key parameter in localized inflammation (2). It has been cited as a proinflammatory mediator in gingivitis and psoriasis (3).
