IL-17A ELISpot Assay Kit (Human)

• Gene Name:

  Interleukin 17A

• Gene Aliases:

  IL17, CTLA8, IL-17, CTLA-8, IL-17A

• Gene ID:

  3605

• Accession Number:

  NP_002181.1

• Reactivity:

  Human

• Target:

  The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO) . High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

• Type:

  ELISA Kit

• Assay Principle:

  Aviva's Human IL-17A ELISpot Kit is based on standard sandwich ELISA methodology. A capture antibody highly specific for the analyte of interest is coated to the wells of a PVDF bottomed 96 well microtitre plate either during kit manufacture or in the laboratory. The plate is then blocked to minimise any non-antibody dependent unspecific binding and washed. Cell suspension and stimulant are added and the plate incubated allowing the specific antibodies to bind any analytes produced. Cells are then removed by washing prior to the addition of Biotinylated detection antibodies which bind to the previously captured analyte. Enzyme conjugated streptavidin is then added binding to the detection antibodies. Following incubation and washing substrate is then applied to the wells resulting in coloured spots which can be quantified using appropriate analysis software or manually using a microscope
