Canine IFN alpha ELISA

• Background:

  Type I interferons comprise a vast and growing group of IFN proteins. Homologous molecules to type I IFNs are found in many species, including all mammals, and some have been identified in birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish species. The mammalian types are designated IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-kappa, IFN-delta, IFN-epsilon, IFN-tau, IFN-omega, and IFN-zeta (also known as limitin) . They are mainly involved in innate immune response against viral infection.

• Description:

  The Canine IFN alpha ELISA contains capture antibody, standard, and detection antibody for development of a Canine IFN alpha ELISA. The antibodies have been determined to function in an ELISA with the standard provided. Optimal buffers, concentrations, incubation times, incubation temperatures, and methods for the ELISA have not been determined. This allows for complete flexibility to provide optimal dynamic range and sensitivity based on your sample type. The Canine IFN alpha ELISA can also be used to measure Dingo IFN alpha. The quantities of components provided are not matched. Components may also be purchased separately. For research use only.
