Il 18 elisa kit

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

The IL-18 ELISA kit is a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay designed for the measurement of interleukin-18 (IL-18) levels in cell culture supernatants, serum, and plasma samples. The kit utilizes a monoclonal antibody specific for IL-18 that is pre-coated onto a microplate. Samples and standards are pipetted into the wells, and any IL-18 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing, an enzyme-linked polyclonal antibody specific for IL-18 is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL-18 bound. The intensity of the color is measured at a specific wavelength.

The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNFα were performed using a commercially available ELISA obtained from PeproTech (PeproTech, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France). IL-18 ELISA kit was purchased from R&D, (France). Levels of cytokines were quantified in the patient sera according to the manufacturer’s protocols. The levels of the cytokines measured were in a linear range of a standard curve as previously described [30 (link)].

Huh7 or HepG2 cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 100,000 cells per well for 12 hours and were divided into 6 groups: MOCK (phosphate buffer solution), LPS, LPS+shNC, LPS+shUSP5, LPS+shUSP5+Vector, and LPS+shUSP5+TXNIP. After transfection with 5-µg plasmid (shNC, shUSP5, Vector, or TXNIP) for 24 hours, 70% confluence of cells in 6-well plates were incubated with 1000 ng/mL LPS for 24 hours. Subsequently, the supernatant was collected for IL-1β and IL-18 detection using IL-1β ELISA kit (CAT#: RLB00, R&D Systems, Hinnerup, Denmark) and IL-18 ELISA kit (CAT#: DY3144-05, R&D Systems) as described.20 The sample concentrations were calculated according to the standard curve obtained.

Quantifying Cytokine Levels and Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse IL-1β, IL-18 ELISA kits were purchased from R&D Systems. The levels of cytokines were determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions. IL-1β procedure was modified with orbital shaking to decrease the lower detection limit of the kit to 2.35 pg/mL as previously described35 (link). Total RNA was isolated from mice tissue using TRIZOL Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. 1ug RNA was reversely transcribed to complementary DNA(cDNA) using Revert Aid First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA). For Real-time PCR(RT-PCR), equal amounts of cDNA were added to SYBR Green master mix (Qiagen, Valencia,CA) to detect target transcripts using Roche light cycler 480. Data for relative expression were presented using the 2ΔΔCt method.

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.
