Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Mouse IL-17 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA). IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by a unique lineage of CD4 T cells that plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune diseases. Interleukin-17 is expressed by activated T cells and is 57% identical to the 17- to 26kD secretory glycoprotein encoded by gene 13 of the herpesvirus saimiri (HVS-13). IL17 induces nuclear factor kappa-B and the expression of IL6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor,and prostaglandin E2, as well as the maturation of CD34 positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. Anti-IL17 antibodies significantly inhibited osteoclast formation induced by culture media of RA synovial tissues. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse IL-17, consisting of 137 amino acids with the molecular mass of 15.5kD. Assay Range: 15.6pg/ml-1000pg/ml Sensitivity: < 1 pg/ml Crossreactivity: There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
