Application Details

Application Notes: Before using Kit, spin tubes and bring down all components to bottom of tube. Duplicate well assay was recommended for both standard and sample testing.

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: rat IL-18 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for IL-18 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E.coli, H37-S194) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for IL-18 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the rat IL-18 amount of sample captured in plate.

Assay Procedure:

Aliquot 0.1 mL per well of the 1000pg/mL, 500pg/mL, 250pg/mL, 125pg/mL, 62.5pg/mL, 31.2pg/mL, 15.6pg/mL rat IL-18 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 mL of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 mL of each properly diluted sample of rat cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. See "Sample Dilution Guideline" above for details. It is recommended that each rat IL-18 standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.

Assay Precision:

• Sample 1: n=16, Mean(pg/ml): 126, Standard deviation: 6, CV(%): 4.7
• Sample 2: n=16, Mean(pg/ml): 335, Standard deviation: 19.43, CV(%): 5.8
• Sample 3: n=16, Mean(pg/ml): 592, Standard deviation: 36.7, CV(%): 6.2,
• Sample 1: n=24, Mean(pg/ml): 147, Standard deviation: 7.94, CV(%): 5.4
• Sample 2: n=24, Mean(pg/ml): 392, Standard deviation: 24.7, CV(%): 6.3

Background:

Protein Function: Augments natural killer cell activity in spleen cells and stimulates interferon gamma production in T-helper type I cells.

Background: Interleukin(IL)-18, also called Interferon-gamma-inducing factor(IGIF), augments natural killer(NK) activity in spleen cells. The gene encodes a precursor protein of 192 amino acids and a mature protein of 157 amino acids.1 IL-18 is a recently discovered cytokine that modulates both T helper type 1(Th1) and Th2 responses.2 IL-18 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine with potential atherogenic properties. It is highly expressed in the atherosclerotic plaques compared with control normal arteries and is localized mainly in plaque macrophages.3
