Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human/Monkey GM-CSF. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human GM-CSF ELISA Kit (CSF2) ab174448), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
GM-CSF also known as Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor is a glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 23 kDa. This protein plays a mechanical role in stimulating the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into granulocytes and macrophages. Its expression occurs in various cell types including macrophages T cells endothelial cells and fibroblasts. GM-CSF interacts with its specific receptor known as CSF2 receptor to exert its effects.
- Biological function summary
GM-CSF influences the immune system by enhancing the functional capacity of mature neutrophils macrophages and eosinophils. GM-CSF protein acts alone and not as part of a larger protein complex. It is important in regulating immune responses and inflammation. Due to its role in promoting the survival and activation of these immune cells GM-CSF is important for mounting an effective immune defense in response to infections and other challenges.
- Pathways
GM-CSF signaling is integral to the JAK-STAT pathway. This pathway is essential for transmitting signals from surface receptors like GM-CSF receptors into the nucleus thereby inducing gene expression that leads to cell survival and proliferation. GM-CSF also intersects with the ERK1/ERK2 MAPK pathway which is involved in regulating cellular processes such as division and differentiation. The GM-CSF receptor shares similarities with other cytokine receptors involved in these pathways making it related to various cytokines through its downstream signaling effects.
- Associated diseases and disorders
GM-CSF has a well-established connection to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. In rheumatoid arthritis overproduction of GM-CSF is linked to chronic inflammation and joint damage. In multiple sclerosis GM-CSF might contribute to the pathological immune responses against the central nervous system. Antibodies targeting GM-CSF or its receptor represent a therapeutic strategy for these autoimmune diseases. By modulating GM-CSF activity therapeutic approaches aim to reduce inflammation and autoimmunity highlighting the protein's importance in disease progression.
