Human EBI3 DuoSet ELISA Summary

Product Summary

This DuoSet ELISA Development kit contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure natural and recombinant human Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 (IL-27/IL-35 EBI3 Subunit). The suggested diluent is suitable for the analysis of most cell culture supernate, serum, and plasma samples. Diluents for complex matrices, such as serum and plasma, should be evaluated prior to use in this DuoSet.

Preparation and Storage

Background: EBI3

IL-27 is a heterodimeric cytokine that is composed of EBI3 (which is related to the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23) and p28 (which is related to the p35 chain of IL-12). IL-27 is expressed by monocytes, endothelial cells, and dendritic cells, and it signals through a receptor complex composed of IL-27 R alpha/WSX-1/TCCR and gp130. IL-27 induces IL-12 receptor expression on naïve CD4+ T cells, sensitizing them to subsequent IL-12 induced Th1 development. It also functions as an anti-inflammatory cytokine by limiting T and NKT cell activity.

Assay Procedure

Refer to the product datasheet for the complete assay procedure.

Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, standards, and controls be assayed in duplicate.

1、Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert.

2、Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.

3、Add 50 μL of Assay Diluent to each well.

4、Add 50 μL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.

5、Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 4 times for a total of 5 washes.

6、Add 100 μL of Conjugate to each well. Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.

7、Aspirate and wash 5 times.

8、Add 100 μL Substrate Solution to each well.

9、Add 100 μL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.
