FIGURE: 1 / 1
Calibrated to an in-house standard preparation.
Lyophilized product is shipped on cold packs. Stable until expiration if stored desiccated at 2-8°C. Reconstituted cytokine standards should be stored in aliquots at -70°C. Each aliquot should be used only once and discarded afterwards. Stability of reconstituted and frozen cytokine standards may vary. Controls should be run with each standard curve.
Sufficient For: ELISA standard curve with replicates or as a control in Western blots.
2500 pg/ml when reconstituted at the recommend volume.
Reconstitute with distilled water at volume indicated on label. Use or freeze product within 1 hour of reconstitution.
Interleukin 8 (IL-8, CXCL8) is a 72 amino acid pro-inflammatory factor which belongs to the CXC subfamily of chemokines, and are bound by the cell surface receptors IL-8RA and IL-8RB. IL-8 functions as a chemoattractant and potent angiogenic factor. The expression and secretion of IL-8 can be induced by diverse inflammatory stimuli in many cells, including macrophages and endothelial cells. In endothelial cells, IL-8 is present in storage vesicles called Weibel-Palade bodies. IL-8, first isolated from osteosarcoma cells, contains the ELR-motif (N-terminal Glu-Leu-Arg amino acid sequence) and signals through the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors. Previous nomenclature for IL-8 includes neutrophil activating protein 1 (NAP-1), granulocyte chemotactic protein 1 (GCP-1), monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide (MONAP) and protein 3-10C. IL-8 and ten other members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a chemokine gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 4q. Cancer studies have demonstrated a role for IL-8 in the angiogenesis and growth of tumours, and IL-8 is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by viral infection.
