Human Interleukin 18 (IL-18) / IFN-gamma-inducing factor / IL-1 gamma ELISA Kit (2 plates)
Description
The human Interleukin 18 (IL-18) Kit is a sandwich ELISA. The capture antibody is a monoclonal human IL-18 antibody pre-coated onto the 96-well strip plates provided in the kit. Human test samples and standards of known IL-18 concentration are added to these wells and allowed to complex with the bound IL-18 antibody. A biotinylated anti-human IL-18 polyclonal antibody is then added. This detection antibody binds to the antigen thus completing the sandwich. After washing, an enzyme Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase complex (ABC) is added which binds to the second antibody. The peroxidase substrate TMB is added to induce a coloured reaction product. The intensity of this coloured product is directly proportional to the concentration of IL-18 present in the samples. The purpose of this kit is the in-vitro quantitative determination of human IL-18 in samples such as sera, plasma and cell culture supernates. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.Labviva Id: LV-0358-0669
