Nori Hamster IL-1RA ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
DataSheet Â
This ELISA kit is for quantification of IL-1RA in hamster. 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-1RA has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-1RA present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for IL-1RA 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-1RA bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:Â
The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. IL1ra is secreted by various types of cells including immune cells, epithelial cells, and adipocytes, and is a natural inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory effect of IL1β (1). This protein binds non-productively to the cell surface interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R), and inhibits the activities of interleukin 1, alpha (IL1A) and interleukin 1, beta (IL1β), and modulates a variety of interleukin 1 related immune and inflammatory responses. This gene and five other closely related cytokine genes form a gene cluster spanning approximately 400 kb on chromosome 2. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported (2). A polymorphism of this gene is reported to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures and gastric cancer. Mutations in the IL1ra gene results in a rare disease called deficiency of the interleukin-1–receptor antagonist (DIRA). Variants of the IL1ra gene is also associated with risk of schizophrenia. Elevated levels of IL1ra has been found in serum of schizophrenia patients. An interleukin 1 receptor antagonist is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease in which IL-1 plays a key role.
