Mouse Interleukin-18 (IL-18) ELISA Kit

A sandwich ELISA developed by Assay Genie for the quantitative detection of mouse Interleukin-18 (IL-18) in biological samples. The assay recognizes both natural and recombinant mouse IL-18 and is supplied for research use only.

Validated sample matrices include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Performance characteristics reported for this kit include a detection range of 15.6-1000pg/mL, a sensitivity of 7.87pg/mL, an intra-assay CV of 4.3% and an inter-assay CV of 7.2%. Spiked recovery averaged 94% (range 88-100%) in serum and 96% (range 90-102%) in plasma. Linearity was demonstrated for serial dilutions from 1:2 to 1:16 across serum, EDTA plasma and heparin plasma samples.

Interleukin-18 belongs to the IL-1 family of cytokines. It augments natural killer cell activity in spleen cells and stimulates interferon gamma production in T-helper type I cells, and is associated with UniProt entry P70380. Listed synonyms for this target include Interferon gamma-inducing factor, Interleukin-1 gamma, IFN-gamma-inducing factor, IL-1 gamma, IL-18 and Igif.
