IL-11 ELISA Kit (Interleukin-11)

INTENDED USE

Human IL-11 ELISA kit is intended for analysing in vitro quantitative levels of interleukin-11 (IL-11, interleukin 11) present in human serum, biological fluids, tissue homogenates and plasma. This assay has a minimum detection limit of 18.75 pg/ml.

BACKGROUND

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) can also be called adipogenesis inhibitory factor (AGIF) or oprelvekin and it belongs to a family of cytokines that are known as GP130. There are many cell and tissue which can produce IL-11 throughout the body, for example; lung, connective tissues, thymus, CNS, bone, skin, testis and uterus. Main of it is to promote both in vitro and in vivo primary and secondary immune responses which can be responsible for modulating the antigen-specific antibody reactions. It can exert its biological activity via IL-11R by utilising the gp130 molecule as the signalling component of its receptor.

IL-11 is a highly conserved precursor protein which has a total molecular mass of 19kDa and is composed of 199 amino acids. The initial 21 amino acids are referred to as the typical leader sequence for secreted proteins. This first 21 amino acid sequence is removed when the 178 amino acid is being released from the cell.

IL-11 can be found to display activity in bone metabolism and during the protection or restoration of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Also, human endometrial stromal cells can form biologically active molecule which can be responsible for promoting progesterone-induced decidualization. There are reports that indicate abnormal concentrations in serum or plasma being related to urogenital infection, rheumatoid arthritis and immune thrombocytopenia. It has also been linked to aseptic loosening of total hip replacement implants.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level of interleukin-11 (IL-11, IL11) using current IL-11 ELISA kit was approximately 18.75 pg/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 31.25 – 2,000 pg/ml.

Your secretory IgA ELISA gave good results and I was also really impressed with how quickly we received it.

L. Johnston
PhD Student / University of Glasgow

It is refreshing to know that you have a technical team that is very knowledgeable. I have already recommended your company to other researchers in our department.

Dr. P. Anderson
Lecturer / University College London (UCL)

I am a first time user and found that your instruction manual was very easy to follow. The insulin ELISA assay performed well and I was happy with the results that were generated.

J. Thomas
Senior Technician / Addenbrooke’s Hospital

I carried out a pilot study comparing the performance of many ELISA assay's from different suppliers and found your kits to be one of the better performers. We observed good linearity and tight replicates.
