Performance Validation

R&D Systems Luminex High Performance Assays undergo our most extensive validation testing. All Luminex High Performance Assay Panels are validated for use with serum and plasma samples. Some High Performance Assays are additionally validated for cell culture supernatants, milk, saliva, or urine, as indicated on the individual product data sheets. Luminex High Performance Assays are tested for sensitivity (three-quarters the low standard), intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision, and to ensure assay linearity for validated sample types. Recovery values for individual samples in validated sample types are also tested. Validation data for each analyte can be found in the product datasheet.

Bead Set Contents

User-mixed antibody-coated Magnetic beads in individual vials

Recommended Sample Types: Cell culture supernates, serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma

Components: Human IL-17A Magnetic Microparticles (Part 898827) is supplied as a 100X concentrated stock (0.075 mL) with preservatives. Other Supplies Required: Magnetic Luminex® Performance Assay Human XL Discovery Base Kit (R&D Systems®, Catalog # LUXLM000).

Sensitivity: The Minimum Detectable Dose (MDD) was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean MFI of twenty zero standard replicates and calculating the corresponding concentration. Six assays were evaluated, and the MDD of human IL-17A ranged from 0.616-2.42 pg/mL. The mean MDD was 1.09 pg/mL.

Correlation: This assay has been correlated to the Quantikine® ELISA Kit.

Specificity: This assay recognizes natural and recombinant human IL-17A.Recombinant human IL-17A/F cross-reacts approximately 11% in this assay.Recombinant human IL-17 R interferes at concentrations > 66.7 ng/mL.

Precision

	Intra-Assay Precision		Inter-Assay Precision
Intra-assay Precision (precision within an assay) - Two samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision. Inter-assay Precision (precision between assays) - Two samples of known concentration were tested in thirty separate assays to assess precision between assays.

Which Luminex Assay is Right for Me?

Assays for the Luminex platform are offered as High Performance Assays or Discovery Assays.

High Performance Assays are optimized and validated as complete panels with a focused set of analytes. You can choose from Fixed Panels, Premixed options, or Configurable User Mix formats depending on your needs.

Discovery Assays deliver maximum flexibility, enabling the creation of fully customized panels tailored to your research needs. With universal reagents validated for compatibility across all analytes in the menu, they support endless customization possibilities.

Additional Information About Luminex Assays

All R&D Systems Luminex Assays are designed for use with any Luminex instrument including MAGPIX, Luminex 200, FLEXMAP 3D, and the INTELLIFLEX.

Luminex assays use color-coded, magnetic microparticles coated with analyte-specific antibodies to enable multiplex quantitation. During the assay, standards and samples are added to the wells, where target analytes bind to the capture antibodies. A biotinylated detection antibody cocktail is then introduced, followed by a Streptavidin-PE conjugate that generates a fluorescent signal proportional to the amount of analyte present.

Each microparticle is identified by a unique signature and the signal intensity is measured using a Luminex instrument. These assays are designed to deliver reliable and reproducible results with validated antibody pairs and optimized protocols. They are well suited for applications that require sensitivity, accuracy, and confidence in your data while enabling efficient multiplexing to measure multiple targets simultaneously.

Background: IL-17/IL-17A

IL-17/IL-17A is a homodimeric cytokine that is secreted by IL-23 activated Th17 and Tc17 cells. It is upregulated during inflammation and contributes to disease severity by enhancing neutrophil infiltration and the production of pro-inflammatory chemokines. IL-17A can additionally form bioactive heterodimers with IL-17F. IL-17A and the IL-17A/F heterodimer signal through widely expressed receptor complexes containing IL-17 RA and IL-17 RC.
