IL-17F (Interleukin 17F), BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Rat)

Interleukin 17F, also called IL17F is involved in the regulation of normal versus aberrant T-cell responses. This gene is mapped to 6p12.2. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine is expressed by activated T cells, and has been shown to stimulate the production of several other cytokines, including IL6, IL8, and CSF2/GM_CSF. This cytokine is also found to inhibit the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and induce endothelial cells to produce IL2, TGFB1/TGFB, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. It is suggested that targeting IL17 and IL17F or antagonizing IL17R might mitigate neutrophil-mediated inflammation in CF. Sample Type: Cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA), Intended Use: For quantitative detection of rat IL-17F in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). Sensitivity: <10pg/ml, Range: 31.2-2000pg/ml, Specificity: Natural and recombinant rat IL-17F, Test Principle: This rat IL-17F BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for IL-17F has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(E.coli) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for IL-17F is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the rat IL-17F amount of sample captured in plate.
