IL8
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA, IHC (p), IF
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
ELISA: Can be used as a Tracer antibody in Sandwich ELISA for Detection of Human IL-8(matched pair with clone I8-S2, DM1022 as Capture antibody)Suggested Capture Coating Dose: 0.3 μg/well, substrate TMB. Neutralizing: In chemotaxis assay, the antibody inhibited 98.4 % of the chemotacticactivity of IL-8 on RB/293 cell using 5 μg/mL of MAb and 10 ng/mL of Human IL-8 in assay. This MAb inhibited the chemotactic effect of Human IL-8, had no inhibitory effect to MIP1-beta and RANTES in neutrophil chemotaxis assay. It indicates the MAb is specialneutralizing the IL-8 activity. The MAb has been shown the neutralizing activity on calciumion changes in human granulocytes using FACS. Western Blot: Concentration of 0.02-0.1 μg/mL MAb will allow visualization of 100 ng/laneof Human IL-8.

Interleukin 8 (IL-8), formerly called monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, belongs to the C-X-C chemokine family. IL-8 has 4 cysteine residues, as do other members of the chemokine family, and the first two cysteine residues are separated by glutamine. IL-8 consists of 72 amino acids with a molecular weight of 8,000 daltons. IL-8 exhibits chemotactic activity in vitro for T cells, basophils and neutrophils. IL-8 activates neutrophils to release lysosomal enzymes including myeloperoxidase, -mannosidase and -glucuronidase. IL-1 induces the production of IL-8 from fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, hepatoma cells, astrocytoma cells, glioblastoma cells, lung epithelial cells, synovial membrane cells, melanocytes, melanoma cells and gastric cancer cells. Lipopolysaccharides will stimulate IL-8 production in monocytes/macrophages, and expressed on endothelial cells in response to inflammation.Synonyms: CXCL8, Emoctakin, GCP1, Granulocyte chemotactic protein 1, MDNCF, MONAP, Monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, Monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide, NAP1, Neutrophil-activating protein 1, Protein 3-10C, T-cell chemotactic factor
