Product Description specificalPrinciple of the Assay||The Human IL-5 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human IL-5 in Cell Culture Supernatants, Serum, Plasma, Tissue Homogenates. This assay employs an antibody specific for Human IL-5 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and IL-5 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human IL-5 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL-5 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
Background/Introduction: Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is also known as eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF). IL-5 is a potential candidate gene in the pathogenesis of asthma, as it is the main cytokine controlling eosinophil activity and eosinophils are pivotal in the development of airway inflammation. The predicted amino acid sequence of 134 amino acids is identical with that recently reported for human interleukin-5 but shows no significant homology with other known hemopoietic growth regulators. IL-5 is a lineage-specific hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the production of eosinophils and eosinophil colonies from normal human bone marrow cells. IL-5 gene to human chromosome 5 at bands q23-31. Human and mouse of IL-5 share 70% amino acid sequence homology.
