IL8
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA, IHC (p), IF
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections1.0 μg/mL for two hours at room temperature or 0.25 μg/mL overnight at 4 °C. An HRPlabeled polymer detection system was used with a non-alcohol soluble AEC chromogenand a proteinase K antigen retrieval. Optimal concentrations and conditions may vary. NeutralizationTo yield one-half maximal inhibition (ND50) of the biological activity of human IL-8 (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 2-3 μg/mL of this antibody is required. ELISAIndirect: To detect hIL-8 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of atleast 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-8. Sandwich: To detect hIL-8 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a

IL8 is a member of the CXC chemokine family. This family of small basic heparan-binding proteins are proinflammatory and primarily mediate the activation and migration of neutrophils into tissue from peripheral blood. This chemokine is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response and is secreted by several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. It functions as a chemoattractant, and is also a potent angiogenic factor. IL8 attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by severe lung inflammation. The inflammatory process is believed to be caused by massive overproduction of the proinflammatory protein IL8, and the high levels of IL8 in the CF lung are therefore believed to be the central mechanism behind CF lung pathophysiology.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
