Application Notes
ELISA: React with Human IL-8. Neutralizing: In chemotaxis assay, the antibody inhibited 95.1 % of the chemotactic activityof IL-8 on RB/293 cell using 50 μg/mL of MAb and 10 ng/mL of human IL-8 in assay. ThisMAb inhibited the chemotactic effect of human IL-8, had no inhibitory effect to MIP 1-bataand RANTES in neutrophil chemotaxis assay. It indicates the MAb is special neutralizingthe IL-8 activity. The MAb has been shown the neutralizing activity on calcium ion changesin 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
