Product Summary for Rat IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Rat IL-1 alpha Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure rat IL-1 alpha levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant rat IL-1 alpha and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant rat IL-1 alpha accurately. Results obtained using natural rat IL-1 alpha showed dose curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural rat IL-1 alpha.

Recovery for Rat IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of rat IL-1 alpha spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Supernates (n=4) | 104 | 100-111 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 98 | 89-112 |
| Serum (n=4) | 92 | 85-99 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples spiked with rat IL-1 alpha in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
