Nori Bovine IL-21 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of IL-21 in bovine. 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-21 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-21 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for IL-21 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-21 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.
Alternative names for IL-21: Interleukin 21, IL21

Background:
Interleukin-21 ( IL-21) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL21 gene.[1][2]
IL-21 is a cytokine that has potent regulatory effects on cells of the immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells that can destroy virally infected or cancerous cells.[1][3] This cytokine induces cell division/proliferation in its target cells. IL-21 is expressed in activated human CD4+ T cells but not in most other tissues.[1] In addition, IL-21 expression is up-regulated in Th2 and Th17 subsets of T helper cells, as well as T follicular cells.[4][5][6] Furthermore IL-21 is expressed in NK T cells regulating the function of these cells.[7]Interleukin-21 is also produced by Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) cancer cells Targeting IL-21 may be a potential treatment or possibly a test for HL.[8]
