Product details
Abcam's IL-8 Human in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-8 concentrations in Human cell culture supernatants, tissue extracts, serum and plasma.
An IL-8 specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently an IL-8 specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of IL-8 captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Biological function summary
IL-8 functions as a chemoattractant for neutrophils and lymphocytes facilitating their movement towards the site of infection or injury. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but operates individually to enhance immune cell migration. IL-8 possesses unique binding motifs allowing it to interact with specific receptors namely CXCR1 and CXCR2 on target cells. This binding triggers cellular responses leading to effective immune surveillance and response to inflammatory stimuli.
Pathways
IL-8 operates within important inflammatory and immune response pathways. It forms a part of the NF-κB signaling cascade which activates in response to stress signals promoting the expression of other inflammatory mediators. Additionally it engages in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway influencing cellular responses such as proliferation and differentiation. The interaction of IL-8 with these pathways highlights its role in modulating immune responses and highlights its interaction with other proteins such as TNF-α and IL-1β.
