Product Summary for Human IFN-alpha 2 Quantikine HS ELISA Kit
The Quantikine™ HS Human IFN-alpha 2 Immunoassay is a 4.0 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IFN-alpha 2 (IFN-alpha 2a, IFN-alpha 2b, IFN-alpha 2c) in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains HEK293-expressed recombinant human IFN-alpha 2a and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human IFN-alpha 2 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IFN-alpha 2.

Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to asses inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians.

Recovery for Human IFN-alpha 2 Quantikine HS ELISA Kit
The recovery of human IFN-alpha 2 spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=4) | 101 | 90-108 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=4) | 89 | 75-101 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=4) | 86 | 75-92 |
| Serum (n=4) | 86 | 75-99 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human IFN-alpha 2 were serially diluted with calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
