IL-1 beta ELISpot Assay Kit (Human) (OKDB00017)

Catalog No: OKDB00017

Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Human
• ELISA Kit Duration: < 4 Hours
• ELISA Kit Principle: Aviva's Human IL-1 beta ELISpot Kit is based on standard sandwich ELISA methodology. A capture antibody highly specific for the analyte of interest is coated to the wells of a PVDF bottomed 96 well microtitre plate either during kit manufacture or in the laboratory. The plate is then blocked to minimise any non-antibody dependent unspecific binding and washed. Cell suspension and stimulant are added and the plate incubated allowing the specific antibodies to bind any analytes produced. Cells are then removed by washing prior to the addition of Biotinylated detection antibodies which bind to the previously captured analyte. Enzyme conjugated streptavidin is then added binding to the detection antibodies. Following incubation and washing substrate is then applied to the wells resulting in coloured spots which can be quantified using appropriate analysis software or manually using a microscope

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: IL-1
• Gene Full Name: interleukin 1 beta
• Alias Symbols: IL-1, IL1F2, IL1beta, IL1-BETA
• NCBI Gene Id: 3553
• Protein Name: interleukin-1 beta
• Description of Target: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). This cytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the central nervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2.
