Nori Equine IL-2 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of IL-2 in horse. 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-2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for IL-2 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-2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
IL-2 is an interleukin, a type of cytokine immune system signaling molecule. IL-2 is a T cell stimulatory cytokine best known for inducing T cell proliferation, the production of immunoglobulins made by B cells and differentiation and proliferation of natural killer cells (1,2). IL-2 is also necessary during T cell development in the thymus for the maturation of a unique subset of T cells that are termed regulatory T cells (T-regs) (3, 4, 5). Conversely, IL-2 is involved in activation induced cell death (AICD) that is observed post T cell expansion by increasing levels of Fas on CD4+ T cells (6). IL-2 signals through a trimeric receptor complex consisting of IL-2 receptor alpha (CD25), IL-2 receptor beta (CD122) and a common gamma chain (γc). IL-2 Rα binds exclusively to IL-2 with low affinity and increases binding affinity of the whole receptor complex including IL-2Rβ and γc subunits. IL-2Rβ is also used by IL-2. The common γc is shared by all members of this family of cytokines including IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-2, and IL-21. Binding of IL-2 activates the Ras/MAPK, JAK/Stat and PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling modules (1,2).
