SMC™ Interleukin 7 (IL-7) Immunoassay Kit
Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is an endogenous cytokine responsible for the proliferation of B- and T-lymphocytes. The active human form of IL-7 has 152 aa and is expressed by fibroblasts, stromal, dendritic and endothelial cells. IL-7 often acts in synergy with other cytokines. For example, IL-7 is found to have an additive effect on T-cell activation in combination with IL-12. However, IL-7 is not redundant, as abnormal function of IL-7 has been implicated in immune disorders such as common variable immunodeficiency, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thus, IL-7 is an excellent candidate for therapeutic development because of its crucial role in the modulation of innate immunity. Both activation and suppression of IL-7 may be of value in future therapeutic interventions.
The SMC™ IL-7 Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The SMC™ immunoassay system detects analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology.
