Product overview
Human IL8 SimpleStep ELISA kit (ab174442) has been re-developed with new capture and detector antibodies. This new kit will have the same name but a different product number (ab214030). We have identified new recombinant monoclonal antibodies to use in the SimpleStep ELISA® platform that provide a higher sensitivity when quantification of IL8 in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
IL-8 in vitro SimpleStep ELISA® (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-8 protein in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant.
The SimpleStep ELISA® employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. TMB substrate is added and during incubation is catalyzed by HRP, generating blue coloration. This reaction is then stopped by addition of Stop Solution completing any color change from blue to yellow. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured at 450 nm. Optionally, instead of the endpoint reading, development of TMB can be recorded kinetically at 600 nm.

Notes
IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.

FunctionIL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
-
Post-translational
modificationsSeveral N-terminal processed forms are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from at least peripheral blood monocytes, leukcocytes and endothelial cells. In general, IL-8(1-77) is referred to as interleukin-8. IL-8(6-77) is the most promiment form. -

Other - Human IL-8 ELISA Kit (ab214030)ELISA Protocol Summary -
Human IL-8 standard curve comparison data.Standard curve comparison between human IL-8 SimpleStep ELISA® kit and traditional ELISA kit from leading competitor. SimpleStep ELISA® kit shows a 3-fold increase in sensitivity.
-
Serum from ten individual healthy human female donors was measured in duplicate.Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean IL-8 concentration was determined to be 61.6 pg/mL with a range of 62 – 174.9 pg/mL; two individuals (Donor #3 and Donor #9) measured below the minimal detectable dose.
-
Example of human IL-8 standard curve.Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
-
Interpolated concentrations of native IL-8 in human serum.The concentrations of IL-8 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-8 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean IL-8 concentration was determined to be 63.2 pg/mL in serum.
-
Interpolated concentrations of spiked IL-8 in human plasma samples.The concentrations of IL-8 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-8 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: plasma (EDTA) 50%, plasma (citrate) 50%, and plasma (heparin) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).
-
Interpolated concentrations of native IL-8 in human PBMC cell culture supernatant.The concentrations of IL-8 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-8 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: unstimulated 1:400 and stimulated 1:400. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). Measured values were interpolated from the IL-8 Standard Curve diluted in Sample Diluent NS and corrected for dilution factor. Mean of duplicate values +/-SD are graphed. The mean IL-8 concentration was determined to be 2.2 ng/mL in unstimulated, 119.7ng/mL in stimulated, and undetectable in media.
