15.6 - 1,000 pg/mL (Cell Culture Supernates)

Specificity

Natural and recombinant human IFN-beta.

Sample Values

Cell Culture Supernates: PBMCs were isolated from a single donor over a Ficoll-Paque PLUS density gradient. PBMCs were seeded at 5 x 106 /mL and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. The cells were left untreated or treated with 10 μg/mL of poly I:C in the presence of Lipofectamine 2000 for 24 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for levels of human IFN-beta.

A549 adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells were cultured in Kaighn's Nutrient Mixture F-12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum until nearly confluent. The cells were left untreated or treated with 10 μg/mL of poly I:C in the presence of Lipofectamine 2000 for 24 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for levels of human IFN-beta.

Product Summary

The Quantikine™ QuicKit™ Human IFN-beta Immunoassay is a one step, 80-minute solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IFN-beta levels in cell culture supernates. It contains CHO cell-expressed recombinant human IFN-beta and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained using natural human IFN-beta 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 IFN-beta.

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

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing high concentrations of human IFN-beta were serially diluted with calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: IFN-beta

Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) is a cytokine that is produced by fibroblasts and pathogen-exposed dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. It signals through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha/beta Receptor. IFN-beta-deficient mice show increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, IFN-beta has been shown to suppress the Th17 cell response in both MS and EAE and has commonly been used as a treatment for MS.
