Anti-IL-8 Antibody

Raised in chicken hosts and supplied as a polyclonal IgY preparation, this unconjugated antibody from Antibodies.com specifically targets human interleukin-8 (IL-8), a pro-inflammatory chemokine central to neutrophil chemotaxis and acute-phase immune signaling. Each vial contains 1mg of lyophilised antibody, reconstituted easily in PBS or equivalent buffer for downstream applications.

The IgY isotype offers practical advantages over conventional mammalian IgG, particularly for assays involving samples rich in rheumatoid factor or endogenous anti-mammalian antibodies, helping reduce nonspecific background. Validated reactivity is confirmed against human IL-8, supporting both ELISA-based quantitative detection and Western blot analysis of cell lysates and tissue extracts.

Lyophilised format ensures stability during ambient shipping and allows flexible reconstitution volumes. Reconstituted aliquots should be stored refrigerated; freeze-thaw cycles should be minimized to preserve binding affinity. The unconjugated format gives researchers full control over secondary labeling choices, whether for chromogenic, fluorescent, or enzymatic detection systems.
