Guinea Pig IL-8 DIY ELISA Kit

Configured for quantitative interleukin-8 (CXCL8) measurement in guinea pig-derived samples, this self-coating format from Assay Genie supplies laboratories with unlabelled capture antibody, biotinylated detection antibody, recombinant IL-8 standard, and streptavidin-HRP reagent. Researchers can coat up to 10 microplates according to their own workflow, choosing the timing, plate type, and coating buffer that suit each study, which is especially useful for shared core facilities or intermittent sample batches.

IL-8 (CXCL8) is a CXC-family chemokine that drives neutrophil chemotaxis and is upregulated during acute inflammation. In guinea pig models it has been examined in the context of allergic airway response, endotoxin challenge, otitis media, and mycobacterial infection, making a species-matched quantification reagent useful for translational research programs that pair protein readouts with bronchoalveolar lavage, histology, or RNA expression analysis.

Researchers coat high-binding plates themselves with the supplied capture antibody, then add samples and a standard curve before detecting bound analyte with the biotinylated antibody and streptavidin-HRP conjugate. The readout is colorimetric, developed with TMB substrate, and quantified on a standard plate reader. The kit is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical diagnostic work. Components are supplied in individual vials and should be stored as detailed in the lot-specific insert provided with the shipment.
