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.

Recovery for Human IL-7 Quantikine HS ELISA Kit

The recovery of IL-7 spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay was evaluated.

Sample Type Average % Recovery Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=5) 103 89-113
Citrate Plasma (n=5) 100 92-110
EDTA Plasma (n=5) 112 83-132
Serum (n=5) 100 91-113

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of IL-7 and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

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.
