Product Summary for Human IL-7 Quantikine HS ELISA Kit

The Quantikine HS Human IL-7 Immunoassay is a solid phase ELISA that specifically measures IL-7 in 18-24 hours (with an overnight incubation step). This kit is designed to measure IL-7 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human IL-7 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. It has been shown to quantitate the recombinant factor accurately. Results obtained using natural IL-7 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-7.

Background: IL-7

IL-7 (Interleukin-7) is a cytokine that plays important roles in lymphocyte differentiation, proliferation, and survival. IL-7 is produced by stromal epithelial cells of the thymus, bone marrow, and intestines. It signals through a receptor complex composed of IL-7 R alpha/CD127 and the Common gamma Chain. gamma c is also a subunit of the receptors for IL-2, -4, -9, -15, and -21. IL-7 contributes to the maintenance of all naïve and memory T cells. It is required for optimal T cell-dendritic cell interaction. In mouse, IL-7 activation of IL-7 R alpha is critical for both T cell and B cell lineage development, while in humans, it is required for T cell but not for B cell development.
