Product Summary for Human ST2/IL-33R Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human ST2/IL-33 R Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human ST2 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human ST2 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human ST2 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 naturally occurring ST2.

Cell Culture Supernates: BJAB human Burkitt's lymphoma cells (1 x 105 cells/mL) were seeded in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human ST2, and measured 126 pg/mL.

BUD-8 human fibroblast cells were seeded in MEM NEAA 90% supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human ST2, and measured 273 pg/mL.

U-87 MG human glioblastoma/astrocytoma cells (2.1 x 105 cells/mL) were seeded in MEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% sodium pyruvate, and 2 mM L-glutamine until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human ST2, and measured 63.9 pg/mL.

HUVEC human umbilical vein endothelial cells (1 x 104 cells/mL) were seeded in EGM-2 media until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human ST2, and measured 29,920 pg/mL. 

HUT-78 human cutaneous T cell lymphoma cells (1 x 104 cells/mL) were seeded in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 5 μM beta-mercaptoethanol, and 10 ng/mL recombinant human IL-2 until confluent. An aliquot of the cell culture supernate was removed, assayed for human ST2, and measured 54.9 pg/mL. 

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Background: ST2/IL-33R

ST2, also known as IL-1 R4, is a component of the receptor for the proinflammatory cytokine Interleukin-33. The IL-33 receptor additionally includes IL-1 RAcp which also associates with IL-1 RI and IL-1 R rp2/IL-1 R6. A soluble form of ST2 functions as a decoy receptor. IL-33 promotes Th2-biased immune responses, resulting in eosinophilia, mast cell activation, and allergic inflammation. In addition, IL-33 enhances inflammation-associated hypernociception and protects from atherosclerosis and cardiac myocyte hypertrophy. Soluble ST2 is elevated in the serum under inflammatory conditions including allergic asthma, sepsis, trauma, dengue fever, pulmonary disease, and lupus. It is also associated aortic stenosis, congestive cardiomyopathy, and risk of cardiovascular heart failure and death.
