Description

The Mouse Interleukin-31 (Ms IL-31) ELISA quantitates Ms IL-31 in mouse serum, plasma, buffered solution, or cell culture medium. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant Ms IL-31. Principle of the method The Mouse IL-31 solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen. Rigorous validation Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.

Interleukin 31, or IL-31 is a cytokine secreted by differentiated CD4+ T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. It is also released during inflammation of the skin, by macrophages and T cells. Because IL-31 is secreted by activated Th2 cells, it has a role in host defense against infection and may be involved in asthma, allergy and different types of bowel diseases.
