Sample Values

Serum/Plasma - Samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of human IP-10 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this study.

Sample Type	Mean (pg/mL)	Range (pg/mL)	Standard Deviation
Serum (n=10)	85.6	49.8-250	62.0
EDTA plasma (n=10)	99.4	60.4-205	51.8
Heparin plasma (n=10)	137	83.9-281	75.0

Cell Culture Supernates:

Human peripheral blood cells (PBMCs) (1 x 106 cells/mL) were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 10 μg/mL PHA for 5 days. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 12,555 pg/mL and 6570 pg/mL, respectively.

PBMCs were cultured in the medium as described above. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS and 40 ng/mL of recombinant human IFN-gamma for 24 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 174 pg/mL and 958 pg/mL, respectively.

THP-1 human acute monocyte leukemia cells were left in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 μM beta -mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 1 μg/mL of recombinant human IFN-gamma for 8 hours and then 1.0 μg/mL LPS was added. Cells were incubated for an additional 18 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 1172 pg/mL and 270,600 pg/mL, respectively.

Product Summary

The Quantikine^® QuicKit™ Human CXCL10/IP-10 Immunoassay is a one step, 80-minute solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IP-10 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human IP-10 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained using natural human IP-10 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the QuicKit™ standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IP-10.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Two samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Two samples of known concentration were tested in ten separate assays to assess inter-assay precision

Cell Culture Supernates, Serum, EDTA Plasma, Heparin Plasma

Human IP-10 QuicKit Spiked Recovery Competitor Comparison IP-10 is spiked at three known concentrations throughout the range of the assay and run to measure response of the spiked sample matrix. Plasma recovery is 95% compared to 49% for the top competitor. In spike and recovery experiments, natural samples are spiked with the recombinant target analyte of interest to identify interference caused by sample matrices.

Background: CXCL10/IP-10/CRG-2

IP-10 was originally identified as an IFN-gamma-inducible gene in monocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The mouse homolog of human IP-10, CRG-2, shares approximately 67% amino acid sequence identity with human IP-10. The amino acid sequence of IP-10 identified the protein as a member of the CXC chemokine subfamily.

Entrez Gene IDs:

3627 (Human); 15945 (Mouse)

Alternate Names:

C7; chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10; CRG2; CRG-2; CXCL10; gIP-10; IFI10; INP10; IP-10; mob-1; SCYB10

Assay Procedure

These assays utilize an anti-tag coated microplate. Standards, samples, and controls are added to plate, followed by subsequent addition of an antibody cocktail. Following a 1 hour incubation, plates are washed and substrate is added and incubated for 20 minutes. Stop solution is then added and plates are read using a standard microplate reader.
