Product Specifications

Assay Type

Sandwich ELISA

Kit Type

ELISA Kit (Colorimetric)

Species

Human

Specificity

The assay detects both natural and recombinant human IL-21. The interference of circulating factors of the immune system was evaluated by spiking these proteins at physiologically relevant concentrations into serum. There was no crossreactivity detected.

Description

This kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantitative detection.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) CV% 5.8%

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) CV% 7.7%

Recovery for Human IL-21 ELISA Kit (Colorimetric)

Recovery

The mean recovery for sera was 71%, for plasma (EDTA) 42%, for plasma (citrate) 58% and for cell culture supernatant 95%.

Background: IL-21

The human IL-21 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human IL-21. Interleukin-21 is a member of the type-I cytokine family. Structurally, IL-21 shows homology to IL-2, IL-4, and IL-15 proteins. IL-21 shares the common gamma-chain with these three cytokines, but, in addition, binds to a unique IL-21R alpha chain, and activates the JAK/STAT pathway. IL-21 has pleiotropic actions, from augmenting the proliferation of T cells and driving the differentiation of B cells into memory cells and terminally differentiated plasma cells to augmenting the activity of natural killer cells. IL-21 is mainly produced by activated T-cells, but targets a broad range of lymphoid and myeloid cells of the immune system and therefore is able to regulate innate and acquired immune responses. IL-21 has pathologic function in immune-inflammatory diseases. Data suggest the existence of a positive autocrine loop that could help to amplify and stabilize IL-21-driven, T cell-mediated responses. Moreover, it has antitumour activity and may have a role in the development of autoimmunity. IL-21 may have therapeutic potentials as an antitumor agent in the clinic.
