Typical Testing Data/Standard Curve (for reference only)
Principle of the assay: This IL-8 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applies a technique called a quantitative sandwich immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for IL-8. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells and incubated. IL-8, if present, will bind and become immobilized by the antibody pre-coated on the wells. The microtiter plate wells are thoroughly washed to remove unbound IL-8 and other components of the sample. In order to quantify the amount of IL-8 present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated monoclonal antibody specific for IL-8 is added to each well to "sandwich" the IL-8 immobilized during the first incubation. The microtiter plate then undergoes a second incubation. The wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound HRP-conjugated antibodies and a TMB (3,3\'5,5\' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain IL-8 and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in colour. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the colour change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 2nm. In order to measure the concentration of IL-8 in the samples, this kit contains two calibration diluents (Calibrator Diluent I for serum/plasma testing and Calibrator Diluent II for cell culture supernatant/ urine testing). According to the testing system, the provided standard is diluted (2-fold) with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent and assayed at the same time as the samples. This allows the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density (O.D.) versus IL-8 concentration (pg/mL). The concentration of IL-8 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
Samples: Cell Culture Supernatant, serum, plasma, and other biological fluids
Assay Type: Sandwich
Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of IL-8 was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean optical density value of the 20 zero-standard replicates and calculating the corresponding concentration from the standard curve. The minimum detectable dose using a standard curve generated with Calibrator Diluent I is 10 pg/mL and using Calibrator Diluent II is 4 pg/mL.
