Product details
The ELISPOT assay is designed to enumerate cytokine producing cells in a single cell suspension. This method has the advantage of requiring a minimum of in-vitro manipulations allowing cytokine production analysis as close as possible to in-vivo conditions in a highly specific way. This technique is designed to determine the frequency of cytokine producing cells under a given stimulation, and the follow-up of such frequency during a treatment and/or a pathological state. Elispot assay constitutes an ideal tool in the TH1 / TH2 response, vaccine development, viral infection monitoring and treatment, oncology, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and transplantation.
This Elispot assay is based on sandwich immuno-enzyme technology. Cell secreted cytokines or soluble molecules are captured by coated antibodies avoiding diffusion in supernatant, protease degradation or binding on soluble membrane receptors. After cell removal, the captured cytokines are revealed by tracer antibodies and appropriate conjugates.
The dual colour Elispot allows you to monitor the production of two cytokines simultaneously in the same well.

Biological function summary
IFN-γ and IL-2 are involved in the regulation of immune response and cellular communication. IFN-γ activates macrophages enhances antigen presentation and promotes the differentiation of T helper 1 (Th1) cells. It also plays a role in the activation of NK cells. On the other hand IL-2 is critical for the proliferation and survival of T cells particularly cytotoxic T lymphocytes and helps in the activation and growth of NK cells. These two cytokines sometimes work in concert to strengthen the immune response.
Pathways
IFN-γ and IL-2 participate in the JAK-STAT signaling and MAPK pathways. The JAK-STAT pathway involves other cytokine signaling proteins that mediate immune responses including IL-6 and IL-12. MAPK pathway is essential for the transmission of synaptic information and cytokine release in immune cells. These pathways enable IFN-γ and IL-2 to exert their effects on immune cell differentiation and activation coordinating a comprehensive immune response.
