Human Interleukin-18 Binding Protein (IL-18BP) ELISA Kit

This Human Interleukin-18 Binding Protein (IL-18BP) ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for quantitative detection of human IL-18BP in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA) and urine. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.

This human IL-18BP ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for IL-18BP has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, T31-G194) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for IL-18BP is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human IL-18BP amount of sample captured in plate.

Additional Information: The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from mouse, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Interleukin-18-binding protein, also known as IL18BPa, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL18BP gene. It is mapped to 11q13.4. The protein encoded by this gene is an inhibitor of the proinflammatory cytokine IL18. This protein binds to IL18, prevents the binding of IL18 to its receptor, and thus inhibits IL18-induced IFN-gamma production. This protein is constitutively expressed and secreted in mononuclear cells. The expression of this protein can be enhanced by IFN-gamma. It has been found that IL18BP expression in intestinal tissue is increased in endothelial cells as well as cells of the submucosa and overlying lymphoid aggregates in Crohn disease.; Immunogen sequence: 369
