Product overview
Human IL-33 ELISA Kit (ab223865) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-33 protein in cell culture supernatant, plasma, serum, and cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IL-33 with 4.7 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
IL-33 (Interleukin-33, also known as IL-1F11 or NF-HEV) is a proinflammatory cytokine member of the IL-1 family. It is widely expressed and functions by binding and signaling through the IL-1RL1/ST2 receptor. IL-33 is expressed as a pro-protein; the antibodies in this kit were generated using the mature form of IL-33 (aa 109-270).

Function
Cytokine that binds to and signals through the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor which in turn activates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways in target cells (PubMed:16286016). Involved in the maturation of Th2 cells inducing the secretion of T-helper type 2-associated cytokines. Also involved in activation of mast cells, basophils, eosinophils and natural killer cells. Acts as a chemoattractant for Th2 cells, and may function as an "alarmin", that amplifies immune responses during tissue injury (PubMed:17853410, PubMed:18836528).
In quiescent endothelia the uncleaved form is constitutively and abundantly expressed, and acts as a chromatin-associated nuclear factor with transcriptional repressor properties, it may sequester nuclear NF-kappaB/RELA, lowering expression of its targets (PubMed:21734074). This form is rapidely lost upon angiogenic or proinflammatory activation (PubMed:18787100). -
Tissue specificity
Expressed at high level in high endothelial venules found in tonsils, Peyer patches and mesenteric lymph nodes. Almost undetectable in placenta. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the IL-1 family. Highly divergent. -
Domain
The homeodomain-like HTH domain mediates nuclear localization and heterochromatin association. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe full length protein can be released from cells and is able to signal via the IL1RL1/ST2 receptor. However, proteolytic processing by CSTG/cathepsin G and ELANE/neutrophil elastase produces C-terminal peptides that are more active than the unprocessed full length protein. May also be proteolytically processed by calpains (PubMed:19596270). Proteolytic cleavage mediated by apoptotic caspases including CASP3 and CASP7 results in IL33 inactivation (PubMed:19559631). In vitro proteolytic cleavage by CASP1 was reported (PubMed:16286016) but could not be confirmed in vivo (PubMed:19465481) suggesting that IL33 is probably not a direct substrate for that caspase. -

Interpolated concentrations of spike IL33 in human serum, plasma and cell culture media (RPMI + 10% FBS) samples.The concentrations of IL33 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL33 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum neat, plasma (heparin) neat, plasma (EDTA) neat and RPMI + 10% FBS neat. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Interpolated concentrations of native IL33 in human PMA/LPS stimulated THP-1 cell extract based on a 1,000 µg/mL extract load.The concentrations of IL33 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the IL33 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean IL33 concentration was determined to be 351.5 pg/mL in PMA/LPS stimulated THP-1 cell extract and undetectable in unstimulated THP-1 cell extract (not shown).

Comparison of IL33 in unstimulated and PMA/LPS stimulated THP-1 cell supernatants.THP-1 cells were cultured for 24 hours in the presence or absence of 50 ng/mL PMA and 10 µg/mL LPS. The concentrations of IL33 were measured in neat supernatant samples in quadruplicates and interpolated from the IL33 standard curve. The interpolated values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=3). The mean IL33 concentration was determined to be 15.95 pg/mL in neat PMA/LPS stimulated THP-1 cell culture supernatant and undetectable in neat unstimulated THP-1 cell culture supernatant and RPMI media (not shown).
