Description
The Quantikine Human IL-8 Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IL-8 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It is based on antibodies raised against the 72 aa variant of human IL-8 derived from E. coli. It is calibrated with the same recombinant factor. This immunoassay accurately quantitates recombinant human IL-8. Measurement of natural human IL-8 or the 77 aa variant of human IL-8 gave results parallel to the standard curves obtained using the E. coli-expressed Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-8
