Interleukin-22 (IL-22) ELISA Kit
INTENDED USE
Human IL-22 ELISA kit is designed for measuring in vitro quantitative amounts of interleukin-22 (IL-22) in human tissue homogenates, serum, biological fluids and plasma. This assay has a minimum detection limit of 9.375 pg/ml.
BACKGROUND
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) which is also called TIF (IL-10-related T cell-derived inducible factor), a newly identified cytokine which displays 22% amino acid homology to IL-10 and signals through class II cytokine receptor proteins. IL-22 can be produced by dendritic cells, natural killer cells and T-cells during either a tissue inflammation, bacterial infection or auto-immunity. It has the ability to act upon innate immunity cells via its receptors which are known to be expressed exclusively on these cells. This gives it an important function as a protective molecule which has the ability to counteract the destructive nature of the immune response in order to limit the damage to these tissues.
Recently, an IL-22 expressing T helper cell subset which is referred to as Th22 has been characterized. It is distinct from the other T cells due to the fact it can be co-expressed with the skin-homing receptors CCR4 or CCR10 and the chemokine receptor CCR6. The expression of IL-22 is found to be also elevated in psoriatic skin inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease and atopic dermatitis. Psoriatic patients display a strong elevation of IL-22 plasma levels, which also directly correlates with the disease severity. The expression of IL-22 in CD4+ T helper cells has been found to be linked with Th7 and Th17.
