IFN-gamma (Interferon-gamma) is the prototype proinflammatory cytokine and is produced by a variety of immune cells under inflammatory conditions, notably by T cells and NK cells. It plays a key role in host defense by promoting the development and activation of Th1 cells, chemoattraction and activation of monocytes and macrophages, upregulation of antigen presentation molecules, and immunoglobulin class switching in B cells. It also exhibits antiviral, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects. In addition, IFN-gamma functions as an anti-inflammatory mediator by promoting the development of regulatory T cells and inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation. IFN-gamma dimers signal through a receptor complex of two IFN-gamma R1 and two IFN-gamma R2 subunits.

Recovery for Human IFN-gamma Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of IFN-gamma spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=4) | 102 | 93-109 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 98 | 88-111 |
| Serum (n=5) | 102 | 91-118 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, five samples were spiked with high concentrations of IFN-gamma in various matrices and diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
