Product overview
Mouse IL-18 ELISA Kit (ab216165) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-18 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse IL-18 with 10.5 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.
ASSAY SPECIFICITY
This kit recognizes both native and recombinant mouse IL-18 protein in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant, cell and tissue extract samples only.
CROSS REACTIVITY
Recombinant human IL-18 and mouse IL-18BP were prepared at 50 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL and assayed for cross reactivity. No cross-reactivity was observed.
INTERFERENCE
Recombinant human IL-18 and mouse IL-18BP were prepared at 50 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL and tested for interference. No interference with was observed.
SPECIES REACTIVITY
This kit recognizes mouse IL-18 protein.
Other species reactivity was determined by measuring 50% serum samples of various species, interpolating the protein concentrations from the mouse standard curve, and expressing the interpolated concentrations as a percentage of the protein concentration in mouse serum assayed at the same dilution.
Reactivity < 3% was determined for the following species: Human, Rat, Cow

Notes
Interleukin-18 (IL-18 or Interferon gamma-inducing factor) is a proinflammatory cytokine in the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 has overlapping and synergistic biological function with IL-12. IL-18 is found in both intracellular and extracellular compartments. The antibodies in this kit were raised to the mature full-length sequence of mouse IL-18.

Interpolated concentrations of spike IL-18 in mouse serum and plasma samples.The concentrations of IL-18 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-18 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 50%, plasma (citrate) 50%, plasma (EDTA) 50%, and plasma (heparin) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Linearity of dilution.Linearity of dilution is determined based on interpolated values from the standard curve. Linearity of dilution defines a sample concentration interval in which interpolated target concentrations are directly proportional to sample dilution.
Recombinant IL-18 was spiked into the following biological samples and diluted in a 2-fold dilution series in Sample Diluent NS.
-
Linearity of dilution.Native IL-18 was measured in the following biological samples in a 2-fold dilution series. Sample dilutions are made in 1X Cell Extraction Buffer PTR.
-
Assay sensitivity.The MDD was determined by calculating the mean of zero standard replicates and adding 2 standard deviations then extrapolating the corresponding concentration.
