Description

Human IL-2 (also known as TCGF) is a ~15 kDa factor produced mainly by activated CD4⁺ T cells. IL-2 induces cell cycle progression of resting cells in an antigen non-specific manner and allows clonal expansion of activated T cells. IL-2 also acts on activated B cells, monocytes, NK, LAK cells, and on oligodendroglial cells in vitro. In addition, IL-2 plays a role in hematopoiesis, tumor surveillance and anti-inflammatory reactions and hence is a central regulator of the immune response. Non-glycosylated IL-2 is biologically active.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Recombinant human IL-1α is biologically active. The intended use of the Recombinant Human IL-1α Single-Use ELISA RSG Standard is as a standard for human IL-1α Ready-SET-Go! ELISA and human IL-1α matched antibody pair ELISA. Typically the standard is run in a series of 7 doubling dilutions from the ‘top’ standard described below.

Instructions for use:
For Ready-SET-Go! ELISA Set (TMB substrate). Dilution: Add 10 ul of standard solution to 10 ml of assay diluent to prepare the top standard solution (1000 pg/ml).
For matched antibody pair ELISA (ABTS or Super AquaBlue substrate). Dilution: Add 20 ul of standard solution to 10 ml of assay diluent to prepare the top standard solution (2000 pg/ml).

Note: These are single-use vials. Use one time and discard. Dilute as suggested above, not difficult-to-measure fractions of the suggested volumes (e.g., not 0.5 ul in 1.0 ml) or recovery may not be accurate. Use within 6 hours of dilution to top standard concentration.

Applications Tested

This cytokine standard has been has been calibrated and tested by sandwich ELISA using the human IL-1α ELISA pair (CRM8/CRM6).
