Cytokine elisa kit

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Cytokine ELISA kits are laboratory equipment designed to quantify the presence and concentration of specific cytokines in biological samples. These kits utilize the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique to detect and measure target cytokines. The core function of these kits is to provide researchers and scientists with a reliable, standardized method for analyzing cytokine levels in various sample types.

Culture supernatants of differentially stimulated BMDCs were collected and stored at −70 °C for analysis of cytokine and NO production. Measurement of IL-12p40 levels was carried out as detailed in the instructions provided with cytokine ELISA kit (BD Biosciences). The accumulation of NO in the stimulated culture supernatants were measured as described previously58 (link). Briefly, 50 μl of the supernatant was mixed with an equal volume of Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide and 0.1% N-1-naphthylethylene diamine hydrochloride in 50% H3PO4) and incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Absorbance was then measured at 540 nm in a plate reader (Thermo, Multiskan EX).

THP-1 cells were prepared as described above. After 24 h of incubation, the adhered cells were treated with bio-AgNPs and bio-AgNP CS/P407 hydrogel at concentrations ranging from 8−64 μg/mL. The final volume of each well was 300 μL, and the positive control was 1 μg/mL of LPS from E. coli. The plates were incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h at 37°C supplemented with 5% CO2. The supernatant was transferred to another 96-well plate and placed at −20°C until testing.
The levels of cytokines, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin 10 (IL-10) were estimated by cytokine ELISA kit from B&D according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After that, a solution of the developer TMB (100 μL) was added to the plates, and the reaction was stopped with 50 μL of 1M H2SO4. The plates were read at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Epoch, BioTek).

Four weeks after the last immunization, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation, and the spleens were aseptically removed from the mice. The spleens were ground and passed through a cell strainer. The cell suspensions were concentrated by centrifugation at 1000 r/min for 5 min, and the erythrocytes were lysed using ACK lysis buffer. The erythrocytes were removed, and the splenocytes were washed twice with RPMI-1640 (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) medium and then diluted to 1 × 106 cells/mL in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 U/mL penicillin–streptomycin. Next, 0.5 mL of splenocytes (1 × 106) were seeded in duplicate in 24-well tissue culture plates (Corning, New York, NY, USA); the cells were stimulated with 0.5 mL of purified Rv2351c protein (5 μg/mL) and Ag85B protein (5 μg/mL) and cells that were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (1 μg/mL) and AIV medium served as the positive and negative controls, respectively, and were grown at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 72 h. The culture supernatants were collected, and the concentrations of IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-4 in the supernatants were determined using the cytokine ELISA kit (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA).

The cDNA synthesis kit was from Hoffmann-La Roche (Basel, Switzerland). The cytokine ELISA kit was obtained from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA) for mouse interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-12, and IL-10, respectively. The RAW 264.1 THP-1 cell line was obtained commercially from the National Cell Repository, NCCS, Pune, India. For the hemolysis assay, blood samples from healthy volunteers were collected based on ethical approval from RMRIMS-Patna (Reference no. 21/RMRI/EC/2017) and the donor’s written informed consent.

Blood was collected (via submandibular bleeds) into BD microtainer SST tubes prior to harvesting tissues for the flow cytometry and PCR analysis. Tubes were spun at 1200g for 10 min to separate the serum. Cytokines in the serum samples were assayed with cytokine ELISA kits (BD) following manufacturer’s instructions. Clinical chemistry testing for ALB, ALT, and CREAT was conducted by UNC’s Animal Histopathology and Lab Medicine Core.

Mice were euthanized 4 weeks after the last immunization and lymph node and spleen cells were isolated as described previously [20 (link)]. Cells from lymph nodes of mice from the same group were pooled before in vitro stimulation. For stimulation assays, cells from individual spleens or from pooled lymph nodes were dispensed at 2 × 105 cell/100 μL media/well in 96-well flat bottomed tissue culture plates (Sarstedt, USA) and incubated with 2 or 10 μg/mL of recombinant protein in complete medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 25 mM HEPES, penicillin (100 U/ml) plus streptomycin (100 lg/mL), and 50 μM β-Mercaptoethanol) for 72 hr at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Cells were also incubated with 5 μg/ml concanavalin A (ConA) or with medium alone as positive and negative control, respectively. Culture supernatants were collected and cytokine production was measured using cytokine ELISA kits as per the manufacturer's instructions (BD Bioscience, ON, Canada) as described previously [20 (link)]. The amount of IFN-γ and IL-10 produced by lymph node or spleen cells was expressed as ng/ml. In addition, the production of IL-4 was measured in spleen cells and was expressed as pg/mL.

Diluted immune sera (1:100), urine (1:3), vaginal samples (1:3), fecal supernatants (1:3), intestine samples (1:100), and brain supernatants (undiluted) were used as primary antibodies. Briefly, 96-well plates were coated with T. gondii RH (2 μg/mL) and blocked prior to incubation with the primary antibodies listed above. Anti-mouse IgG and IgA secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used to detect the antigen-specific responses. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured from the brain supernatants using the cytokine ELISA kits (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
